VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2022 / Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (TSXV:SM)(OTCQB:SMDRF) ("Sierra Madre" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's news release dated May 25, 2022 (the "Initial News Release"), the Company has entered into an amended and restated share purchase agreement dated October 28, 2022 (the "Amended Agreement") with First Majestic Silver Corp. ("First Majestic") in respect of its previously-announced acquisition of a 100% interest in the 39,714-hectare La Guitarra Silver-Gold Property ("La Guitarra") in the Temascaltepec mining district, Mexico (the "Transaction") through the purchase of all the issued and outstanding shares of La Guitarra Compania Minera S.A. de C.V. ("Subco"), a wholly-owned indirect Mexican subsidiary of First Majestic.
Further to the Initial News Release and pursuant to the Amended Agreement, the Company and First Majestic have amended the terms of the Transaction to reflect the parties' understanding that: (a) the 2% net smelter returns royalty on La Guitarra (the "Royalty") will now be granted by Subco to First Majestic prior to closing of the Transaction, rather than concurrently with closing as previously anticipated; and (b) certain governmental approvals will be required prior to closing of the Transaction. All other material terms of the Transaction remain unchanged. The Company expects to complete the Transaction by the end of 2022.
For more information on the Transaction, please refer to the Initial News Release.
