Aura Minerals Inc., the mining company which redomiciled from Canada to the British Virgin Islands, after a competitive bid process entered into a US$20,000,000 loan facility and a off-take agreement with Louis Dreyfus Company Metals, for the restart of operations and copper concentrates to be produced from its wholly-owned Aranzazu mine in Mexico.
Under the terms of the loan facility, the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary may draw-down the full amount of it in three tranches. The loan includes 12-month grace period and is subject to customary conditions, including the repayment of company’s outstanding loan with Auramet International LLC. The facility will be guaranteed by the company and its interests in the project and the San Andres mine. The Off-Take Agreement covers 100% of the copper concentrates produced from the project.
