Almonty's Chairman, President and CEO Lewis Black said:
'We are very pleased to announce that we have closed on the US$4.1 million owner's cost portion of the financing. This represents Phase I of the financing for the build-out of our Sangdong Mine Project in South Korea which is described as Owner's Costs within the financial model that is driving the project financing.
This leaves approximately US $23.1 million to be raised, of which US $10 million for the DSRA (debt service reserve account) is expected to be met with a bank guarantee or line of credit, with the remaining US $13.1 million to be raised through a hybrid/mezzanine/bond financing structure. This mixed structure Owner's Cost financing, combined with the already announced US$75 million Project financing note at libor plus 2.3%, creates in its entirety, an affordable Total project financing package while simultaneously minimizing shareholder dilution.
Almonty is now in possession of the definitive loan documents for the KfW-IPEX Bank Project financing, which we expect to execute later in July 2020.
We are now beginning the scheduling work with POSCO, the EPC contractors, for mobilization dates and with Metso, the plant equipment supplier, for the order dates for the long lead time equipment for the crushing circuit. We are also commencing the construction of the Monty B portal in August which is the main ore portal. The waste portal Alphonse D was completed late last year.'
