Trading Symbol: TSX-V: IG
CALGARY, Nov. 16, 2012 /CNW/ - Infinito Gold Ltd. (the "Company" or "Infinito") announces that it has accepted an offer of a demand loan facility for $250,000 (the "Loan") from Exploram Enterprises Ltd. ("Exploram"), its major shareholder, and that all of the $250,000 has been advanced to the Company. The closing occurred promptly upon acceptance of the offer by Infinito as the funds were required urgently.
The indebtedness under the Loan is to be secured under the existing General Security Agreement between the Company and Exploram delivered in connection with the sale of convertible notes of the Company on February 10, 2009 (the "Prior Notes"). The Loan is non-interest bearing.
The Loans are in addition to $18.0 million of principal in other demand loans (other "Demand Loans") that are also payable to Exploram, and is in addition to $50.5 million in principal owed under the Prior Notes.
All indebtedness under the Loan is repayable on demand at any time and may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty. In addition, all indebtedness under the Loans shall rank equally with the other Demand Loans and senior to all other indebtedness of the Company. There are no structuring fees to be paid by the Company in conjunction with the Loan.
The funds advanced under the Loan are expected to satisfy the Company's immediate working capital requirements into late November 2012 as the Company continues with its corporate restructuring efforts as disclosed in its condensed consolidated interim financial statements dated June 30, 2012 and its audited consolidated financial statements dated March 31, 2012, both of which are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
The Company continues to undertake a detailed and continuous budgeting and review process. The Company will continue to work with its major shareholder to secure funding on a short-term basis to be used to finance operations as the Company works to minimize its ongoing cash requirements and realize the maximum value from selected portions of its property, plant and equipment. Further funding is at the sole discretion of the Company's major shareholder.
