Update on Offering
Nevada Copper is pleased to provide the following updates regarding the Offering:
Strong investor demand: The Offering has been oversubscribed and includes a broad base of existing and new shareholders.
Improved cash position: The Company expects to receive in excess of $48 million (approximately US$36 million) in net cash proceeds upon the closing of the Offering (after full prepayment of the Convertible Loan, as described below, Underwriter fees and expenses of the Offering and assuming no exercise of the overallotment option).
Simplified capital structure: The Convertible Loan will be retired in full, resulting in a strengthened balance sheet and simplified share capital structure.
Restart and ramp-up of production: The Company intends to restart production at its Pumpkin Hollow underground project in August and ramp-up operations with a view to achieving full production by the end of the year. Further details and a discussion of certain risks are included in the preliminary prospectus.
Commenting on the Offering, Evan Spencer, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“We are exceptionally pleased with the strong support shown by our existing and new shareholders. Given the strong demand, this offering brings multiple benefits to the Company. With this new funding, we look forward to our mill restart next month and commencing ramp-up to full scale production and continuing to advance our other growth and exploration plans.”
Corporate Governance
The board of directors (the “Board”) of Nevada Copper formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) consisting of members of the Board who are independent of Pala Investments Limited (“Pala”) and Castlelake L.P. (“Castlelake”), to consider the proposed terms of the Offering involving Pala and Castlelake, including the prepayment of the existing US$30 million convertible loan facility that the Company entered into with Pala on March 27, 2020 (the “Convertible Loan”) of which Pala and Castlelake own approximately 98% of the principal amount thereof, the repayment of certain short-term financing provided by Pala and the additional subscriptions under the Offering by Pala and certain funds managed by Castlelake (the “Castlelake Funds”). The Special Committee has met separately from the full Board. After careful consideration, the Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Board approve the terms of the Offering relating to these matters.
The Offering Price was negotiated by the Company and Scotiabank, on behalf of itself and the other Underwriters, with such Underwriters all acting on an arm’s length basis from the Company, Pala and Castlelake.
Potential Maximum Dilution in respect of the Offering
Pala currently owns 332,179,447 Common Shares, representing approximately 40.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis. The Castlelake Funds currently own an aggregate of 136,632,313 Common Shares, representing approximately 16.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis. In connection with the Offering, Pala has agreed to subscribe for 289,202,677 Units (which is approximately 27,000,000 Units less than previously disclosed in the Company’s press release on July 13, 2020 following Pala agreeing to reduce its participation due to the oversubscription of the Offering) and the Castlelake Funds have agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 149,902,852 Units, which is approximately 35.3% and 18.3%, respectively, of the Common Shares outstanding before giving effect to the Offering. Of such amounts, the proceeds from the subscription of 180,262,677 Units by Pala and 122,714,852 Units by the Castlelake Funds will be used by the Company to repay an amount of US$19,890,6881 to Pala (being an aggregate of US$19,684,006 in principal amount (inclusive of the US$2,400,000 arrangement fee payable to Pala in connection with the entering into of the Convertible Loan and interest of US$1,198,784, which amounts have been capitalized) and US$206,682 of accrued interest to the expected repayment date) and US$13,540,700 to the Castlelake Funds (being an aggregate of US$13,400,000 in principal amount and US$140,700 of accrued interest to the expected repayment date) being all amounts outstanding to Pala and the Castlelake Funds under the Convertible Loan. As noted in the Company’s press release on July 13, 2020, each of Pala and the Castlelake Funds have agreed to waive the applicable prepayment premium under the Convertible Loan in connection with such proposed repayment. An arm’s length third party lender previously acquired an aggregate principal amount of US$500,000 of the Convertible Loan from Pala. In connection with the Offering, this third party lender has agreed to subscribe for 5,414,024 Units. As a result, the remaining principal amount of the Convertible Loan, along with any accrued interest and fees thereunder, will also be prepaid upon the closing of the Offering.
Upon completion of the Offering, the US$20,000,000 commitment provided by Pala to the Company pursuant to the backstop agreement dated March 27, 2020 among Pala, the Company and Triple Flag Mining Finance Bermuda Ltd. will expire in accordance with its terms and the Company will no longer have access to any amounts under such agreement.
The number of Common Shares that will be issued as a result of the Offering to Pala and the Castlelake Funds is set out below, as well as the number of Common Shares to be held by Pala and the Castlelake Funds upon completion of the Offering (assuming the exercise of all Warrants issuable in connection with the Offering):
Total Number
of Common
Shares issued Total Number of
Common Shares
that will be held
after the Offering % of Common
Shares owned

outstanding % of Common Shares owned
relative to Common Shares

Pala 433,804,015 765,983,462 93.44% 42.90%
Castlelake Funds 224,854,278 361,486,591 44.10% 20.25%
The total number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offering (assuming the exercise of all Warrants issuable in connection with the Offering) is 965,570,329, which represents 117.79% relative to the number of Common Shares currently issued and outstanding.
TSX Financial Hardship Exemption
Nevada Copper has applied to the TSX, pursuant to the provisions of Section 604(e) of the TSX Company Manual, for a “financial hardship” exemption from the requirements to obtain shareholder approval of the Offering on the basis that, absent the Offering, the Company is in serious financial difficulty due to the lack of available cash and funding resources, which will likely lead to defaults under the Company’s working capital facility and senior credit facility. The Offering, including the repayment of the Convertible Loan, are designed to improve the Company’s financial situation. The application was approved by the Board, based upon the recommendation of the Special Committee and the determination that the transactions are reasonable for Nevada Copper in the circumstances. Under the policies of the TSX, on the basis that the Offering was determined to be subject to the provisions of Section 607 of the TSX Company Manual for private placements, the Offering would have required shareholder approval by the Company due to: (a) the number of Common Shares (including the Common Shares issuable upon the due exercise of the Warrants) issuable in connection with the Offering is in excess of 25% of the number Common Shares outstanding; and (b) the number of Common Shares issued to insiders (assuming full conversion of the Warrants) is greater than 10% of the number of Common Shares outstanding. The Offering Price represents a discount of 22.64% to the market price of the Common Shares on the trading day prior to the Offering being announced of $0.1939, which is within the allowable discount limit in accordance with the private placement rules of the TSX Company Manual. For the purposes of the TSX, the “market price” of the Common Shares is the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares ending on July 10, 2020 (the last complete trading day prior to the Offering being announced).
Nevada Copper expects that as a consequence of its financial hardship application, the TSX will extend the remedial delisting review which Nevada Copper is currently under for a period of 120 days. Although Nevada Copper believes that it will be in compliance with all continued listing requirements of the TSX upon the closing of the Offering, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such review or continued qualification for listing on the TSX. There can be no assurance that the TSX will accept the application for the use of the financial hardship exemption from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval described above.
