The termination of the Silver Sale Agreement has been funded by an unsecured credit facility
provided by the Bank of China to Perilya in the amount of US$50 million, with the balance
being paid out of Perilya’s cash reserves. The funds are being provided via a guarantee
facility granted by Zhongjin Lingnan to the Bank of China. The facility is not secured over any
of the assets of Perilya.
