Gaby Property Purchase Option Extension

Tribeca Resources is also pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) with the owners (the “Vendors”) of the Gaby-Totito property located in the Coquimbo province of Chile (the “Property”) to extend the purchase option agreement entered into between the Company and the Vendors on March 15, 2019, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (the “Purchase Option Agreement”), under which the Company has the option to purchase a 100% interest in the Property (the “Purchase Option”).

Under the new Extension Agreement, the deadline of the final purchase payment due to the Vendors under the Purchase Option Agreement has been extended for a period of 18 month months (the “Extension”)  to 15 September 2026 in consideration of the Company paying the Vendors US$130,000, making a US$50,000 advance payment on the final purchase payment upon execution of the Extension Agreement; and agreeing to make a 10% partial payment of the final purchase payment on the previous Purchase Option expiry date, being 15 March 2025.  

The revised acquisition timetable significantly reduces the Company’s funding requirements in 2025 and provides Tribeca with additional time to focus on growing the Gaby discovery.

The payment terms in the Purchase Option Agreement have been amended such that the remaining payments due, in order to exercise the Purchase Option, are as follows:

Payment deadline	New payment schedule	Prior payment schedule
On signing of extension (July 2024)	US$130,000 one-payment (paid) US$50,000 prepayment (paid)	N/A
Before March 2025	US$200,000	US$1,800,000
Before September 2026	US$1,550,000	N/A

Further, during the Extension, the frequency of the Exploration Levy Payments will change from annual to semi-annually. Cumulative Exploration Levy Payments will remain capped at US$500,000.
