or "NOB")
(TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT:NB7,
OTC.PK:NLPXF) announces that it has closed a
$1,000,000 debt financing with Bridging Capital Fund LP.
The loan provided to
the Company is secured by a mortgage on the property comprising
Noble's Project 81, as well as by a charge on all other assets of
the Company. The mortgage securing this loan is subordinate in
ranking to existing mortgages on the Company's properties in favour
of Franco-Nevada Corporation (secured debentures issued in October
2011 (for a principal amount of $2,000,000) and April 2012 (for a
principal amount of $1,500,000)). Also, other existing secured
creditors of the Company have agreed with the lender that their
loans would be subordinate to the security granted by Noble to
Bridging Credit Fund LP.
Interest accrues on
this new secured facility at prime plus 12% per annum, with
interest to be paid monthly. Noble also paid a commitment fee of
$20,000 to the lender.
The TSX Venture
Exchange approved the terms of this transaction on September 9,
2013.
The proceeds of this
loan will be used to provide the Company with working capital while
the anticipated purchaser of the Company's surface and timber
assets completes its due diligence. This due diligence is currently
well underway.
The Company is
continuing its efforts to monetize other of its assets, including
by pursuing opportunities for real estate sales on other parts of
Project 81. In addition, Noble is entertaining proposals for the
establishment of joint venture relationships to advance mineral
exploration of Project 81 (in the Timmins area of Northern Ontario)
as well as the potential to develop the Company's Black Sands Gold
Project near Wawa, Ontario.
