Huldra Silver Inc. ("Huldra" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:HDA) announces that,
after careful consideration of all available alternatives, the Board of
Directors of Huldra determined that it was in the best interests of all of its
stakeholders to seek creditor protection under the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA"), and has obtained such protection pursuant to
an Order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court"). The Order and
related Court documents are filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Company's
profile. While under CCAA protection, Huldra will continue attempting to
restructure its financial affairs and recommence operations at its mine and
mill. 


Recently, Huldra has been hampered by equity market, commodity price and
operational challenges which lead to the decision to proceed with CCAA
protection. Details of the CCAA proceeding will soon be available on the website
of the Court-appointed Monitor, Grant Thornton LLP (the "Monitor"). CCAA
protection stays creditors and others from enforcing rights against Huldra and
affords Huldra the opportunity to continue attempting to restructure its
financial affairs. The Court has granted CCAA protection for an initial period
of 30 days, expiring August 26, 2013, to be extended thereafter as the Court
deems appropriate. Huldra will issue a further press release on or before August
26, 2013 which will provide an update. 


While under CCAA protection, Huldra will continue attempting to restructure its
financial affairs and recommence operations at its mine and mill under the
supervision of the Monitor. The Monitor will also be responsible for reviewing
Huldra's ongoing operations, liaising with creditors and other stakeholders and
reporting to the Court. 


The Court has authorized the Monitor to arrange for Waterton Global Value, L.P.
("Waterton"), the primary secured creditor of the Company, to loan up to
CAD$4,800,000 (the "DIP Loan") to the Company pursuant to a term sheet dated
July 23, 2013 (the "Term Sheet"). 


The DIP Loan is to be drawn by the Company in two tranches as follows:
CAD$2,300,000 (the "First Tranche") upon the request of the Company following
execution of the Term Sheet; and CAD$2,500,000 (the "Second Tranche", and
together with the First Tranche, the "Tranches") upon receipt by Waterton of a
comprehensive plan of operations from the Company for the Treasure Mountain
Property that is satisfactory to Waterton and its advisors (the "Plan"). Huldra
has agreed to repay the DIP Loan in full as follows: if the First Tranche (but
not the Second Tranche) is advanced, then on the date which is four months after
the date the First Tranche is advanced by Waterton to the Company under the Term
Sheet; and if both Tranches are advanced, then in accordance with an amortized
repayment schedule to be determined by Waterton which reasonably corresponds to
the Plan. 


The DIP Loan is being advanced subject to the terms of an existing credit
agreement between Waterton and the Company dated June 16, 2011 (the "Original
Credit Agreement"), subject to certain changes provided for in the Term Sheet.
The Original Credit Agreement is disclosed in the Company's news release dated
June 17, 2011. The Company also agreed under the Term Sheet: to allow the
Monitor appointed in the CCAA proceeding in connection with the Company ("CCAA
Proceeding") to communicate with and disclose information to Waterton as
required; that any court orders obtained in the CCAA Proceeding shall be on
terms satisfactory to Waterton, including an initial order in the CCAA
Proceeding which shall confirm the validity, enforceability and first priority
ranking of the DIP Loan and related security, subject only to an administrative
charge in favour of the Monitor and its counsel; to allow Waterton,
notwithstanding the CCAA Proceeding, to immediately enforce its security upon
the occurrence of any event of default or event which, with the passage of time,
would constitute an event of default; and to discuss with Waterton all
contemplated motions in the CCAA Proceeding before instituting the same. In
addition, the Company agreed to pay certain expenses of Waterton in connection
with Waterton's review and due diligence of the Company up to a maximum of
approximately CAD$100,000 on demand by Waterton, to pay Waterton for certain
on-going expenses of Waterton's counsel in connection with the CCAA proceeding
on a bi-weekly basis from the cash flows filed in the CCAA Proceeding, and to
pay the fees for any employees, consultants, representatives or agents of
Waterton that work for, in connection with or on behalf of the Company. 


As consideration for the DIP Loan, the Company has agreed to grant Waterton a 2%
net smelter return royalty on the Treasure Mountain Property (the "Royalty").
The Royalty will be terminated if: no amounts (other than the PNote Amount) are
drawn by the Company under the DIP Loan within thirty days of the execution of
the Term Sheet; and the Company repays Waterton in full all amounts owing under
the Original Credit Agreement, the Term Sheet, the DIP Loan, and all documents
related thereto within thirty days of the execution of the Term Sheet, so that
all of the Company's obligations to Waterton are fulfilled to Waterton's full
satisfaction. 


The obligations of Waterton to advance the DIP Loan are subject to the
fulfillment of conditions precedent to be determined by Waterton in its sole and
absolute discretion. The DIP Loan is subject to TSX Venture Exchange and Court
approval. The terms and conditions of the DIP Loan are subject to the agreement
of Huldra, Waterton and the Monitor. The Company intends to use the proceeds of
the DIP Loan to repay the principal and interest owed to Waterton pursuant to a
promissory note issued to Waterton on July 8, 2013 (the "PNote Amount") and for
working capital purposes. 


It is expected that the Monitor will work with the Company to develop a plan of
compromise or arrangement with one or more of the Company's classes of creditors
pursuant to the CCAA and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). 


Although CCAA protection enables the Company to continue attempting to
restructure its financial affairs and recommence operations at its mine and mill
until its CCAA status changes, the implications for the Company's shareholders
are less clear. At the end of the restructuring process, the value of what is
left for shareholders will depend upon the terms of the restructuring plan
approved by the Court. 


Certain mining objectives announced by the Company on May 27, 2013 are no longer
achievable because the mill and mine are on care and maintenance, the Company
lacks the required financial resources and because the Company is subject to
CCAA protection. 


Managing the financial difficulties of the Company has absorbed considerable
staff resources recently. At the current time, management and the Board of
Directors are actively focusing on assisting the Monitor in obtaining Court
approval of the restructuring plan, implementing the restructuring plan, and
completing a transaction which restructures the affairs of the Company in such a
way so as to maximize its value to all of its stakeholders. Every effort will be
made to ensure that all stakeholders in the Company are kept informed of
developments affecting the Company as they occur. 


The Company also announces that Ryan Sharp has resigned as a director of Huldra,
effective immediately upon the granting of an Initial Order under the CCAA with
respect to the Company. 


On behalf of the Board of Directors 

Garth Braun, CFO & Director
