The issuance of the shares remains subject to the approval of the TSXV. Any shares issued will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and a day following issuance.
President and CEO Arturo Bonillas stated: "Since the Company's inception, PEAL has been a strategic stakeholder and like all of our shareholders, a valued partner. Their request to amend the terms is a testament to their ongoing commitment and validation of our strategic focus in Mexico."
