Victoria Gold has executed an agreement for $220m in debt financing for the development of Eagle Gold project in Yukon Territory, Canada.
Earlier this year, a commitment letter was signed with BNP Paribas towards project funding.
Under the agreement, BNPP has obtained credit approval to fully underwrite the planned $220m, senior secured project finance facility.
Victoria Gold president and CEO John McConnell said: “The loan facility with BNPP provides the majority of the required project funding and leaves the company with flexibility to source the remaining capital.
“The company will consider various alternatives to raise the balance of required project capital with the aim of minimising dilution to our existing shareholders.”
Before the loan facility closes, Victoria Gold needs to fully finance construction of the Eagle Gold mine.
