On July 15, 2024, in connection with the previously disclosed asset purchase and sales agreements, dated April 29, 2024 (the “Sales Agreements”), between two of Golden Minerals Company’s (the “Company”) Mexico subsidiaries, Minera William S.A. de C.V. (“Minera William”) and Mineral Labri S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Labri”), and a privately held Mexican company (the “Buyer”), the Company announced that it has received payment in full of $2,500,000 cash, plus Value Added Tax (“VAT”), for the Velardeña Mine and associated facilities and title to such assets has been transferred to the Buyer. Further and in connection with the Sales Agreements, there has been a delay in the closing of the Mineral William agreement entered into to sell the oxide processing plant and the water wells, located in Durango State, Mexico. To date, the Company has received partial payments in the amount of $373,000 for these assets. The remaining $2,627,000 cash, plus VAT on the full sales price was due on July 1, 2024.
