TSX.V: SCZ
FSE: 1SZ

VANCOUVER, July 14, 2016 /CNW/ - Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. ("Santacruz" or the "Company") (TSX.V:SCZ) is pleased to report that it has closed its previously announced public offering of units (the "Offering") through a syndicate of agents led by Haywood Securities Inc. and including M Partners Inc. (collectively, the "Agents") and has completed the previously announced restructuring of its Silver Pre-Payment Agreement with JMET, LLC ("JMET"). The restructuring amends the Silver Pre-Payment Agreement such that, among other things, the Company no longer has any metal delivery obligations to JMET.

The Company has issued 37,975,000 units (the "Units") pursuant to the Offering at a price of C$0.40 per Unit for total gross proceeds of C$15,190,000.  The Offering included 4,875,000 Units issued pursuant to the Agents' exercise in full of their option to purchase additional Units.  Each Unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one transferable common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share (a "Warrant Share") at a price per Warrant Share of C$0.55 for a period of 30 months from closing.

The Company has used a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to restructure its obligations to JMET, as described below, with the remainder to be used for general working capital purposes.

Concurrently with the completion of the Offering, the Company has closed the restructuring of its obligations to JMET by amending the terms of the Silver Pre-Payment Agreement. The Company has paid US$7,776,600 from the proceeds of the Offering to JMET as partial payment of the outstanding indebtedness under the Sliver Pre-Payment Agreement and has issued JMET a new secured note in the amount of US$4,889,933 (the "JMET Note"), representing the remaining indebtedness to JMET after giving effect to the restructuring.  The JMET Note bears interest at a rate of 14% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears commencing September 30, 2016, with principal repayments of US$500,000 per quarter commencing September 30, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2019.  Also pursuant to the restructuring, the Company has issued 3,750,000 warrants to JMET (the "JMET Warrants").  Each JMET Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.55 per share and will expire on December 31, 2018; provided that, if the volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares for any consecutive 20-day trading period on the TSX Venture Exchange equals or exceeds C$0.88, the Company has the right to deem the JMET Warrants to be exercised.  The Company has also agreed to pay JMET certain restructuring and finance fees, which fees will be payable in 2019. In certain circumstances, the principal repayments due under the JMET Note and payment of the restructuring and finance fees will be accelerated without penalty if the Company receives net proceeds from sources other than the sale of concentrates or if the Company's working capital and cash balance exceed certain thresholds.
