VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the sale of its 100 percent interest in Compañia Minera Cuzcatlan S.A. de C.V. (“Cuzcatlan&) to JRC Ingeniería y Construcción S.A.C. (“JRC&), a private Peruvian company (the “Transaction&). Cuzcatlan is the owner of a 100 percent interest in the San Jose Mine in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of a definitive share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement&).

Details of the Transaction

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, JRC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cuzcatlan held by Fortuna&s subsidiaries in consideration for:

  • the payment of US$6.5 million;
  • the payment of approximately US$1.2 million for pre-paid working capital items and tax receivables by April 30, 2025; and
  • the right to receive up to approximately US$8.3 million upon the completion of certain conditions.

In addition, Fortuna retains a 1.0 percent net smelter royalty on production from the San Jose Mine concessions payable after the first 6.1 million ounces of silver and the first 44,000 ounces of gold or 119,000 gold equivalent ounces have been mined or extracted from the property.

About the San Jose Mine

Fortuna successfully built, expanded, and operated the underground San Jose mine for thirteen years, developing it into one of the 12 largest primary silver producers in the world for several years. In December 2024, the Company placed the mine on care and maintenance due to its higher operating costs and the exhaustion of its mineral reserves and initiated a strategic process to divest of this non-core asset. The San Jose mine still holds a small mineral resource inventory which does not meet Fortuna&s economic criteria for mineral reserve classification.

INFOR Financial Inc. acted as financial advisor to Fortuna.

Investors are advised to consult a financial professional to determine the appropriateness of an investment strategy based on their objectives, financial situation, investment horizon, and individual needs. This information is not intended to serve as financial, tax, legal, accounting, or other professional advice, as such advice should always be tailored to individual circumstances.

The products discussed herein are not insured by any government agency and carry risks, including the potential loss of the principal amount invested.

Opinions expressed may change and should not be relied upon. It is crucial to seek personalized investment advice for your unique situation.

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.

Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.

Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.

No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
