TORONTO, June 04, 2019 - Samco Gold Ltd. (TSXV: SGA) (“Samco” or the “Company”) announces that the Company intends to draw down the entire remaining US$250,000 principal amount of the previously announced US$450,000 convertible loan facility (the “Facility”) entered into between the Company and Mr. Charles Koppel, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Lender”). US$100,000 had been drawn in March 2019, and US$100,000 in April 2019.
