NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, September 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Silver Viper Minerals Corp. (“Silver Viper” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: VIPR) announced today that it has elected to exercise its right (the “Acceleration Right”) to accelerate the expiry date (the “New Expiry Date”) of the common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) issued on September 24, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the certificates representing the Warrants (the “Warrant Certificates”).
The New Expiry Date for the Warrants is October 8, 2020. The Company has delivered a notice (the “Acceleration Notice”) of its exercise of the Acceleration Right to the holders of the Warrants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Certificates, the Company had the right to exercise the Acceleration Right as the common shares of the Company have traded at a VWAP of at least $0.70 on the TSX Venture Exchange for a period of ten consecutive trading days from September 1, 2020 to September 15, 2020.
As of the close of business on September 15, 2020, a total of 7,760,000 Warrants have yet to be exercised. If all the Warrants are exercised prior to the New Expiry Date, the Company would expect to receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.8M as a result of such exercise.
Holders may exercise their Warrants at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on October 8, 2020 in accordance with the instructions provided in the Acceleration Notice and the terms of the Warrant Certificates.
Silver Viper’s President and CEO Steve Cope states, “I am very proud of the progress our team has made over the last year. The financing last September was done at $0.25 and we recently hit an all-time high of $0.85. The majority of the La Virginia project has never seen any modern exploration and we will continue to not only expand on our discoveries at El Rubi but also continue to test the other drill ready anomalies that we have identified through our surface mapping and sampling programs. With a number of catalysts expected before the end of the year, we fully expect to continue to add value to the Company. I would like to thank all of our shareholders for their continued support.”
