Toronto – TheNewswire - April 13, 2023: AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSXV:ABRA; (OTC:ABBRF) ("AbraSilver" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has filed its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (the “2022 FS”), related management’s discussion and analysis (the “2022 MD&A”) and annual information form of the year ended December 31, 2022 (and together with the 2022 FS and 2022 MD&A, the “Annual Filings”). Copies of the Annual Filings can be accessed on the Company’s SEDAR page at www.sedar.com.
In connection with the Ontario Securities Commission’s (the “OSC”) review of the Company’s preliminary base shelf prospectus filing, the OSC staff requested certain corrective disclosures be made by the Company in the Annual Filings. In particular, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has made certain corrective disclosures in accounting for the consideration payable under the second amended and restated share purchase agreement among SSR Mining Inc., Huayra Minerals Corporation, AbraSilver and Fitzcarraldo Ventures Inc. dated as of March 21, 2017, as amended on December 31, 2017, and as further amended on September 11, 2019 (the “Diablillos SPA”) which previously resulted in an understatement of mineral property interests, consideration payable, accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive loss as at January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. The Company previously disclosed the unpaid remaining consideration of US$7,000,000 as a commitment. The Company has now remedied this by recognizing the remaining consideration payable as at January 1, 2021 of US$7,000,000, discounted at 15% discount rate per annum, with an estimated payment date of July 31, 2025. The Company has also recognized a corresponding addition to mineral property interests since the date of the Diablillos SPA, considering the hyperinflation impact in the Company’s subsidiary. The consideration payable has been accreted.
As a result of the filing of this corrective disclosure the Company will be placed on the public list of Refiling and Errors in accordance with OSC Staff Notice 51-711 (Revised) Refilings and Corrections of Errors.
