PureGold Obtains CCAA Protection
01 November 2022 - 8:08AM
Pure Gold Mining Inc. (TSX-V:PGM, LSE:PUR) (“PureGold” or the
“Company”) announces that it has obtained an Initial Order for
creditor protection (the “Initial Order”) from the Supreme Court of
British Columbia (the “Court”) under the Companies’ Creditors
Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”). KSV Restructuring Inc. was appointed
as the monitor (the “Monitor”).
The decision to commence CCAA proceedings was
made after careful consideration of PureGold’s cash position,
scheduled debt payments, forecast revenue and expenses and all
available alternatives to an application for creditor protection.
The CCAA proceedings are intended to facilitate a restructuring of
the Company’s balance sheet, the injection of additional capital, a
sale of the company or its assets, or any combination thereof.
Among other things, the Initial Order authorizes
PureGold to borrow under an interim financing credit facility from
its lending partner, Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector)
LP, in order to meet the Company’s immediate cash needs for the
continuation of its business activities and preservation of its
property. The Company expects the PureGold Mine will remain in care
and maintenance. Management of PureGold is expected to remain
responsible for the day-to-day operations, under the general
oversight of the Monitor.
The Monitor has set up a website at:
https://www.ksvadvisory.com/experience/case/pure-gold-, where
updates on the restructuring process, the Monitor’s reports to the
Court, Court orders and other information will be posted as soon as
they are available.
