The Offering is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day following the Closing Date. The Company expects to close on or around February 19, 2015. At closing, it is anticipated that the Purchaser will own approximately 12% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on an undiluted basis. Goldrock has agreed to grant Orion a standard pre-emptive right for as long as the Purchaser maintains ownership of at least 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for the further development of the Lindero gold project including detailed engineering and final payment on long lead items. The Company anticipates the arrival of the High Pressure Grind Roll unit, the single longest lead time item of 14 months, into Argentina early in the second quarter of 2015. The Company continues to advance discussions to fully finance Lindero which would include debt, equity and equipment manufacturer financing.
Paul Matysek, President and CEO of the Company, commented, "We are extremely pleased with this investment by Orion and the resulting strategic relationship with a mining focused private equity partner. In the past 15 months we have been fortunate to partner with two other sophisticated mining investors that have realized the deep value of the Lindero gold project and have invested in the Company at significant premiums to the market price. These funds will allow the Company to continue to advance and de-risk the full construction implementation of the Lindero project."
The Orion Mine Finance Group is a mining focused business with approximately $1.8 billion under management specializing in providing flexible capital investment solutions to junior mining companies in the base and precious metal sector. Orion has demonstrated capability in debt, equity, convertibles, off-take, streaming and royalty investments. www.orionminefinance.com
