![Chieftain Metals Corp. Provides Update on Corporate Debt](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
According to the terms of the West Face Loan Agreement and a separate Demand Promissory Note dated December 22, 2015, accrued interest and fees of CAD$4,027,165 were due and payable to West Face on March 31, 2016. Chieftain was unable to arrange this payment.
West Face has issued a notice of non-payment in respect of the accrued interest and fees but has not at this time demanded repayment of the amounts outstanding under the West Face Loan Agreement or under the Demand Promissory Note.
Chieftain is engaged in constructive discussions with West Face regarding this matter and is working cooperatively with West Face to seek to resolve this matter and to move forward on a path that will stabilize the Company financially. Additionally, Chieftain is engaged in discussions with equity and project debt groups to arrange project financing for the construction of the high grade polymetallic Tulsequah Chief project. The Tulsequah Chief project is robust even at current spot prices and, given its significant exploration potential as identified in the November 20, 2013 press release, provides investors with a unique opportunity to participate in a permitted, construction-ready high grade zinc, copper, gold and silver project in British Columbia, one of the most attractive mining jurisdictions.
