TORONTO, May 1, 2024 - Adventus Mining Corporation ("Adventus" or the "Company") (TSXV: ADZN) and Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp") (TSX/NYSE American: SVM) are pleased to announce that Adventus has closed its previously announced private placement of 67,441,217 common shares of Adventus (the "Common Shares") at an issue price of C$0.38 per Common Share to Silvercorp for aggregate gross proceeds to Adventus of C$25,627,662 (the "Placement"). As previously announced on April 26, 2024, the Placement was completed in conjunction with the proposed acquisition by Silvercorp of all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Adventus by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") pursuant to an arrangement agreement between Adventus and Silvercorp (the "Arrangement Agreement").

With the completion of the Placement, Silvercorp now holds approximately 15% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares. Adventus expects to use the proceeds from the Placement to (i) repay the amounts outstanding under a credit facility with Trafigura Pte Ltd. in the amount of approximately C$9.9 million, which includes penalties payable for the early repayment under the facility, (ii) fund the settlement of the outstanding amounts payable pursuant to a convertible loan agreement between Adventus and Altius Resources Inc. in the amount of approximately C$9.6 million, (iii) fund normal course activities at the El Domo project in the amount of approximately C$2.7 million, and (iv) fund general working capital expenses in the amount of C$3.4 million, which expenses are expected to include funding of early development expenditures to advance construction of the El Domo project and fund general and administrative expenses between announcement and closing of the Transaction.

The Common Shares issued to Silvercorp pursuant to the Placement are subject to a statutory four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws ending on September 2, 2024. The Placement is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. Completion of the Placement and the repayment of indebtedness does not provide a guarantee that the Transaction will be completed.
