Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 5, 2021) – American CuMo Mining Corporation (TSXV: MLY) (OTC Pink: MLYCF) (“CuMoCo” or the “Company”) and Idaho CuMo Mining Corporation (“ICMC”) announced today that several of its convertible debenture holders have opted to convert their debentures and accrued interest into units consisting of shares and a warrant.

As a result of this conversion, the combined accrued interest of $66,810.14 is being converted into units at a price of $0.05 per unit. Each unit consists of one share and one five-year warrant with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.075 per Warrant Share for a period of five years from the closing date. The share for debt transaction will result in the issuance of 1,336,205 common shares of the Company and 1,170,625 warrants and is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

The recently announced (December 8, 2020) $1 million 8.75% secured convertible debenture offering is approximately 90% sold and will be closing shortly. The debentures have a five-year term and are secured by the assets of the Company’s subsidiary, ICMC.

In addition, ICMC is proceeding with offering US$10 million in secured convertible silver stream notes (the “Notes”) that would commence trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange at the same time the Notes are issued. The Notes would bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable/accruable semi-annually, and would have a minimum term of five years. The Notes would be convertible into the right to purchase silver from the production at the CuMo Project for US$5 per ounce. More details will be made available once final paperwork has been completed and approved by the Vienna Stock Exchange.
