Québec City, Québec, April 20^th, 2023 – Robex Resources Inc. (TSXV: RBX) (“Robex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that all conditions precedent to the closing of the previously announced US$ 35 million Bridge Loan (the “Bridge” or “Bridge Facility”) with Taurus Mining Finance Fund No. 2, L.P. (“Taurus”) have been met or waived, and a first drawdown request has been completed.

Since the signing of the Bridge on March 21^st 2023, the Company and Taurus have worked together to satisfy all conditions precedent to the closing of the Bridge Facility. Commercial and legal terms remain unchanged as those disclosed in the press release dated March 21, 2023, including the issuance of 22.5 million non-transferable common share purchase warrants to Taurus with an exercise price of C$ 0.39 per common share which are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on August 20, 2023 as required under applicable securities legislation.

The first drawdown proceeds will reimburse certain capital costs of the Kiniero project, as well as invoices for advanced orders being placed in the coming weeks. Future drawdowns will be used to fund ongoing project capital and operating costs at Kiniero.

Taurus and Robex will now work together on the remaining terms of the second portion of the previously announced financing package, namely the US$ 115 million project finance facility including a US$ 15 million cost overrun facility.

Aurelien Bonneviot, CEO said: “We are pleased to have closed the first part of the mandate letter and have completed the first drawdown request within a short time period. This will allow us to mobilize our construction team with Wacom on site and to accelerate the development of the project”.
