Trevali Mining Corporation Extends Zinc Hedging Program Out to End of 2021

Ricus Grimbeek, President and CEO, commented, "We've seen the zinc price increase by over 50% in the last 8 months. Concentrate stockpiles have been depleting and the mine supply side is fragile. Zinc demand is being driven by government infrastructure stimulus spending which began in China and is expected to expand to the rest of the world in the mid-term. With smelters short on concentrate, they have responded by lowering their treatment charges to compete for supply and the annual benchmark treatment charge for 2021 is expected to be reset lower than in 2020. Spot treatment charges for the month of October averaged $110 per tonne , 63% below the 2020 annual benchmark of $300 a tonne. With a higher zinc price, and lower treatment charges expected in about 40 days, Trevali is positioned well to benefit from the expected improvements to the zinc market."

Mr. Grimbeek continued, "Based on our perception of the current market momentum and the positive changes to the forward curve, we took the opportunity to extend the tenure of our hedge book and fix the price of approximately 25% of our forecasted zinc production for an average price of $1.23 a pound out to the end of 2021. This locks in a portion of our cashflows while retaining significant exposure to movements in the zinc price with the majority of our production unhedged to positive price movements."
