“Theclosing of the Boleo debt financing and the cost overrun funding are majormilestones for
Bajaand for the mining industry in Mexico,” said John Greenslade, President &CEO. “The
closingof these facilities is a testament to the compelling economics of the projectand to the
strongeffort of our team. It also means full-scale construction activities at Boleocan commence
imminently.”

to develop the Project, will be provided to MMB by theExport-Import Bank of the United States
