BacTech Secures Financing for Snow Lake
TORONTO, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/03/13 -- BacTech Environmental Corporation ("BacTech" or the "Company") (CNSX: BAC) (OTC: BCCEF) (WKN: A1H4TY) is pleased to announce that it has arranged a bridge loan that will enable the Company to complete its technical preparations for the Snow Lake project. Specifically, the Company plans to use the funds to complete its front end engineering (F.E.E.D.) study which remains an integral part of the Snow Lake Project financing package.
Ross Orr, the President & CEO commented:
"We believe this financing will help us to further build value through engineering on the Snow Lake Project. In this difficult environment for junior companies we are very pleased to have access to this capital to move the project ahead. The Company intends to repay the loan from the proceeds of a project financing for the Snow Lake Project"
The agreement calls for BacTech to receive up to CAD$600,000 comprised of (a) an initial $300,000 within 10 days of closing, and (b) a second $300,000 can be drawn after BacTech has confirmed that the underlying contract with the Province of Manitoba can be used as collateral for the loan. All loans are subject to interest at the rate of ten percent per annum, and are to be repaid by November 20, 2013 subject to the Company's right to extend repayment. In addition the loans are convertible into common stock in the context of the price of BacTech shares at the time of filing the loan agreement with the CNSX. The Company can make an early repayment of the loans provided it issues 1,000,000 share purchase warrants to the lender exercisable 1 year from the date of the first closing at a price of $0.10 per share.
