ASX Release Funding Update
Resource Generation (the Company) has received numerous recent enquiries about the status of its funding, accordingly it has decided to provide an update. As previously announced the Company has been negotiating with various parties including a club of potential financiers to provide project finance for the construction of the Boikarabelo mine.
Negotiations are still continuing with the previously announced club of financiers with work continuing on an extensive terms sheet and bank case financial model. The process in reaching an agreed term sheet has been protracted due to several factors including the variable nature of the envisaged loan structure and maintaining deliverable outcomes within prevailing debt and coal markets.
Expectations are that the project finance will provide all required remaining funding for the mine construction. Consequently, if the proposed facility is made available, the Company does not envisage the need for an associated equity raising.
In addition to the above, the Company continues to explore alternative funding arrangements.
