VANCOUVER, BC, March 1, 2021 /CNW/ - ORO X MINING CORP. (TSXV: OROX) (OTC Pink: WRPSF) ("Oro X" or the "Company") and Mines and Metals Trading (Peru) PLC ("MMTP", also commercially known as "Latitude Silver") are pleased to announce that they have entered into an engagement letter with Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Red Cloud Securities Inc., as co-lead agents (together, the "Co-Lead Agents" on their own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Mackie Research Capital Corporation, collectively with the Co-Lead Agents, the "Agents") in connection with a "best-efforts" private placement (the "Offering") of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") of MMTP Finco Inc. ("MMTP Finco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMTP.  The Offering is expected to have aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $14,000,000.

The Offering is a condition precedent to the completion of the business combination (the "Transaction") announced by Oro X and MMTP on February 11, 2021.  Concurrent with the completion of the Transaction, Oro X will also acquire all of the issued and outstanding MMTP Finco Shares pursuant to an amalgamation of MMTP Finco and a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Oro X (the "Finco Amalgamation"). Pursuant to the Finco Amalgamation, the MMTP Finco Shares will be exchanged for common shares of Oro X on the basis of one Oro X Share to be issued for every one MMTP Finco Share. The Oro X Shares issued pursuant to the Finco Amalgamation will not be subject to any hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of Subscription Receipts will be deposited with a subscription receipt agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agent") in escrow (the "Escrowed Proceeds") pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"). It is anticipated that the Escrowed Proceeds will be released by the Subscription Receipt Agent to MMTP Finco upon receipt of a notice (the "Release Notice") to the Subscription Receipt Agent from Oro X, MMTP and MMTP Finco indicating (a) all conditions to the completion of the Transaction and the Finco Amalgamation (other than the release of the Escrowed Proceeds) have been satisfied or waived to the satisfaction of the Agents, acting reasonably, (b) the receipt of all court, regulatory (including stock exchange), shareholder and third-party approvals, if any, required in connection with the Transaction and the Finco Amalgamation, (c) the Oro X Shares issuable upon completion of the Transaction and the Finco Amalgamation being conditionally approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange and the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to such listing, other than the release of the Escrowed Proceeds, (d) the distribution of: (i) the securities underlying the Subscription Receipts, including the Oro X Shares to be issued in exchange for the MMTP Finco Shares pursuant to the Finco Amalgamation; and (ii) the Oro X Shares to be issued in exchange for MMTP Shares pursuant to the Transaction, being exempt from applicable prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and (e) Oro X and MMTP not having committed any breach of the agency agreement for the Offering that has not been cured within five (5) days of the receipt of written notice from Agents (collectively, the "Escrow Release Conditions").

Upon and subject to the receipt by the Subscription Receipt Agent of the Release Notice, the Escrowed Proceeds shall be released to MMTP Finco and the holders of Subscription Receipts will be issued MMTP Finco Shares, which are then exchanged for common shares of Oro X on the basis of one Oro X Share to be issued for every one MMTP Finco Share pursuant to the Finco Amalgamation. 

The Agents will be granted an option to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15%, exercisable in the discretion of the Agents, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the final closing date of the Offering (the "Agents' Option"). 

In connection with the services rendered in connection with the Offering by the Agents, MMPT Finco will: (i) pay the Agents a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering; and (ii) issue to the Agents warrants (the "Agents' Warrants") equal to 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Offering , both including the Agents' Option, if exercised but not including up to $5,000,000 in subscriptions from the president's list, on which a cash commission of 2% and Agents' Warrants equal to 2% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold will be paid by MMTP Finco.

Proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for mine development and exploration activities at MMTP's Recuperada Mine, and for general working capital.  The Offering is expected to close on or about March 31, 2021.
