Battery Mineral Resources Corp. Announces Equipment Refinancing by Ozzie̢۪s, Inc. (100%-Owned Subsidiary), Generating Proceeds of US$2 Million

(via NewsDirect)

Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (“Battery” or “BMR” or the “Company>”) is pleased to announce that it has closed an equipment refinancing transaction through its 100%-owned subsidiary, Ozzie’s, Inc., (“Ozzie’s”) which operates in the equipment rental and sales sector, servicing pipeline and renewable energy companies (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction raised proceeds of US$2.0 million via a re-financing of 11 pieces of equipment owned by Ozzie’s and is structured as a lease with a four-year term. Subject to certain terms and conditions, Ozzie’s has the option to pay the amount remaining on the lease at any time from the 13^th month following the lease commencement and prior to the end of the lease, thus providing Ozzie’s with additional financial flexibility. SLR Equipment Finance provided the financing. Proceeds from the Transaction will be towards additional working capital.

Battery CEO Martin Kostuik states: “As our last transaction for 2022, we are very pleased to announce the refinancing of certain of Ozzie’s equipment with SLR Equipment Finance. The transaction represents a non-dilutive means for BMR to raise capital. We look forward to sharing ongoing updates on additional financing initiatives and other key milestones, as we advance towards an early 2023 restart of mine operations followed by copper production and positive cash-flow at Punitaqui.”
