Atlantic Gold Signs Project Loan Facility Agreement

10.05.2016  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 10, 2016) -

All figures presented in Canadian Dollars, unless specified otherwise

Atlantic Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AGB) ("Atlantic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it, through its wholly owned subsidiary D.D.V. Gold Ltd., has signed a syndicated project facility agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie Bank") and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation ("Cat Financial") in respect of its previously announced $115 million Project Loan Facility ("PLF") to fund the majority of the construction costs of the Company's Moose River Consolidated Project ("MRC Project") in Nova Scotia.

The terms of the PLF are substantially the same as previously disclosed in the News Release dated February 22, 2016. That is, the PLF carries an interest rate of the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, or CDOR, plus a margin 5% (pre-Project Completion), reducing to 4.5% post-Completion, and is repayable in quarterly installments over three years.

In order to mitigate gold price risk and as a condition of the PLF, Atlantic is required to enter into margin free gold forward sales contracts of 215,000 ounces, representing approximately 30% of total recovered life of mine gold production of the MRC Project at an agreed minimum Canadian dollar forward price of $1,500. As noted in the Company's news release dated May 2, 2016, the Company has already executed gold price hedging contracts covering 100,000 ounces of production.

The Company was advised by Noah's Rule (Debt and Hedge Adviser), Cox and Palmer, and Cassels Brock Lawyers (Project Finance Counsel).

Drawdown under the Credit Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent. The PLF will be secured through guarantees and a first ranking charge on all assets of the Company and each of its material subsidiaries.

Steven Dean, Chairman and CEO commented, "Atlantic is pleased to have completed a definitive Credit Agreement with Macquarie Bank and Cat Financial for a project loan facility that will fund the majority of the construction costs at MRC. The Company looks forward to completing its remaining financing transactions in the immediate future."

Further updates will be provided in due course.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Steven Dean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Forward-Looking Statements:

This release contains certain "forward-looking statements" and certain "forward-looking information" as defined under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking statements and information can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "plans" or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements and information are not historical facts, are made as of the date of this press release, and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding discussions of future plans, guidance, projections, objectives, estimates and forecasts and statements as to management's expectations with respect to, among other things, the activities contemplated in this news release and the timing and receipt of requisite regulatory, and shareholder approvals in respect thereof. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, without limitation, statements related to proposed exploration and development programs, grade and tonnage of material and resource estimates. These forward looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and actual results may vary. Important factors that may cause actual results to vary include without limitation, the timing and receipt of certain approvals, changes in commodity and power prices, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, risks inherent in exploration estimates and results, timing and success, inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral reserves and resources), changes in development or mining plans due to changes in logistical, technical or other factors, unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications, cost escalation, unavailability of materials, equipment and third party contractors, delays in the receipt of government approvals, industrial disturbances or other job action, and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters), political risk, social unrest, and changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets. In making the forward-looking statements in this press release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation, the assumptions that: (1) market fundamentals will result in sustained gold demand and prices; (2) the receipt of any necessary approvals and consents in connection with the development of any properties; (3) the availability of financing on suitable terms for the development, construction and continued operation of any mineral properties; and (4) sustained commodity prices such that any properties put into operation remain economically viable. Information concerning mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates also may be considered forward-looking statements, as such information constitutes a prediction of what mineralization might be found to be present if and when a project is actually developed. Certain of the risks and assumptions are described in more detail in the Company's audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2015 on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. The actual results or performance by the Company could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements relating to those matters. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. Except as required by law, we are under no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
