Eloro Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Eloro”) (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE: P2QM) is pleased to announce that, in connection with its previously announced bought deal financing (the “Financing”) (see Eloro press releases dated December 16, 2020 and December 9, 2020), it has filed a final short form prospectus with the applicable securities regulators in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec. Under the terms of the Financing, Haywood Securities Inc., as lead underwriter, and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the “Underwriters”) agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 3,548,400 units (the “Units”) at a price of Cdn$1.55 per Unit for gross proceeds to the Company of Cdn$5,500,020.

Each Unit will consist of one common share (a “Common Share”) of the Company and one-half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of Cdn$2.00 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Financing.

In addition, under the terms of the Financing, the Company granted to the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 532,260 additional Units at a price of Cdn$1.55 per Unit, exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, until the date that is not later than the 30th day after the closing date of the Financing. The Underwriters have elected to exercise their Over-Allotment Option in full, such that the total number of Units to be sold in the Financing will be 4,080,660 Units at a price of Cdn$1.55 per Unit for total gross proceeds to the Company of Cdn$6,325,023.

The Company intends to use the majority of the net proceeds from the Financing for continued exploration of the Company’s Iska Iska project in Bolivia, including 10,000 metres of additional diamond drilling planned to be carried out on the property (6,000 metres of drilling at Santa Barbara/Huayra Kasa and 4,000 metres of initial drilling at the Central Breccia Pipe). To date, the Company’s drill program at Iska Iska has completed more than 4,800 metres of drilling in 19 underground and surface drill holes. Assay results for the first five drill holes were reported in the Company’s November 18, 2020 press release; assay results for the balance of the holes are pending.

The Financing is scheduled to close on or about January 5, 2021 and is subject to certain customary closing conditions.

The securities offered in the Financing have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
