VANCOUVER, March 18, 2019 - Nickel North Exploration Corp. (TSX Venture: NNX) (the “Company” or “Nickel North”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment”) with SinoTech (Hong Kong) Corporation Limited (the “Lender”) to further extend the repayment term of the loan to the Company to June 30, 2019, while also increasing the principal amount of the loan to $1,012,048.37 (the “Principal Amount”). The Principal Amount comprises the current principal amount of the loan advanced to the Company to date and accrued interest thereon. The Principal Amount will bear interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. All other terms and conditions of initial loan agreement between the Company and the Lender dated November 2, 2016 remain in force and are unamended except to the extent amended by the parties.
The proceeds of the Amendment are expected to be used by the Company for the daily operation and paying the current liabilities.
The Amendment is considered a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Amendment is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation pursuant to the exemption in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market, and is exempt from minority shareholder approval pursuant to section 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101, as the Amendment does not have an equity or voting component and is on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Amendment were obtained from an arm's length party.
