First Mexican Enters into US$10.0 Million Credit Facility Agreement
24 April 2018 - 4:07AM
First Mexican Gold Corp. (the `Company` or `FMG`) (TSX-V:FMG)
(Frankfurt:21M) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an
arrangement with Isatis Capital Group of Montreal to secure a
credit facility loan for up to USD$10,000,000.00.
The contemplated credit facility arranged will
have a maturity of 48 months with FMG being able to terminate the
loan at 36 months with a 2% penalty on remaining funds owed and
will be secured by a universal deed of hypothec over FMG assets
including but not limited to its property in Mexico. The loan will
have an interest rate of 8% and will consist of interest only
payments for the first 14 months of its tenure. The loan, at the
discretion of the lender(s) is convertible to 99.9 gold bullion as
a vehicle of re-payment with 12 months advanced notice and
contained within a formal offtake agreement.
The credit facility will be made available to
FMG through the issuance in the United States of secured and
convertible notes maturing at 48 months relying up rule 506 (c) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, 1933 as
amended.
The financing described herein is contingent to
market conditions and regulatory approval in United States and
Canada.
Funds will be used to bring the Karen Zone into
operational mineral extraction, as well as general working capital.
Permitting consisting of land use change and environmental impact
study (MIA) will begin immediately upon receipt of funds.
Jim Voisin, President & CEO of First Mexican
Gold Corp. commented that “It has been a very long and protracted
number of years with many possible funding disappoints. This
funding solution enables FMG to move forward aggressively on long
developed property plans while maintaining 100% control and vested
interest of the Guadalupe property and the Karen zone while
offering the opportunity to deliver enhanced shareholder value to
our long suffering faithful shareholders. I look forward to
aggressively moving the project forward.”
While the Company has not completed and does not
intend to complete a PEA or feasibility study before further
developing the Karen zone deposit, management believes the
Company's best interests would be served by pursuing permitting and
its associated facilities. Mining in Mexico and within this
region has a long tradition of success exploiting similar small
areas at surface. Management’s approach will be carried out
in industry best practices, there is risk and no assurance that any
future mining operations at the Karen zone inferred deposit will be
commercially viable.
FMG has terminated its agreement with Link
Natural Resources that was press released October 14, 2015 after
many attempts to advance their proposal with new funding partners.
We wish them well in their continuing projects.
First Mexican’s Guadalupe property is
geologically along trend with other producing mines in the Sierra
Madre Occidental, including: the Mulatos mine of Alamos Gold Inc.,
Dolores mine of Pan American Silver Corp and Ocampo mine of Minera
Frisco SAB de CV. The property is also contiguous to Corex Gold
Corp's Santana property currently undergoing the construction of a
production facility in partnership with H. Morgan & Company and
Chester Millar as lead advisor, and Alamos Gold as a major
shareholder.
In conjunction with this credit facility FMG
will be issuing 10,000,000 shares and distributing 4,700,000
options exercisable at 5 cents to employees, consultants, and
directors as per existing option plan.
First Mexican Gold Corp. is an active explorer
for precious metals in Mexico and controls a 100% interest in the
Guadalupe property package with the intention of becoming an active
producer.
