Kilo Goldmines Announces Consensual Realization Against Assets
September 12 2019 - 8:23PM
Kilo Goldmines Ltd. (“Kilo” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: KGL)
announced today that it and direct subsidiary, Kilo Goldmines Inc.
(“Kilo Inc.”, and together with Kilo, the “Borrowers”) have entered
into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Resolute (Treasury) Pty
Ltd (“Resolute”) and Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor”) that will
result in the extinguishment of all amounts owing by the Borrowers
under a credit facility provided by major shareholder Resolute,
which has been in default since March 14, 2019. The credit facility
is secured against all assets and undertaking of the Borrowers,
including a pledge of the shares of Kilo Inc. The Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby are subject to receipt of
all required regulatory approvals.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Kilo will
consent to the assignment of the credit facility and related
security from Resolute to Loncor and will cooperate in Loncor’s
realization solely against the shares of Kilo Inc. in full
satisfaction of all amounts owing by the Borrowers under the credit
facility of approximately A$822,945 (approximately C$747,264). Kilo
Inc. owns all of the Company’s mineral properties interests and
assets in the Democratic Republic of Congo, including the Company’s
Somituri gold project, and, following the security realization
process, Kilo will cease to hold any property interests or assets
in that country. In consideration for Kilo cooperating and
assisting Loncor in the security realization process, Kilo will
receive a cash payment of C$130,000 from Loncor. The transaction
will permit Kilo to retain and attempt to monetize its public
reporting status and upon the completion of the security
realization process, Kilo intends to initiate a search for suitable
assets or businesses to merge with or acquire to maximize this
value for shareholders. To assist with the Company’s working
capital requirements post-security realization, Kilo has arranged
for an unsecured loan from Loncor and an arm’s length third party
in the amount of C$65,000 each (C$130,000 in the aggregate) bearing
interest at 8% per annum and repayable 12 months from the date of
the loan. Subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals,
Kilo will have the option on maturity to convert all or any part of
the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest
thereon into common shares of Kilo based on the then current market
price.
“After investigating a number of alternatives to
address the delinquent Resolute loan, and considering the
uncertainty and liabilities relating to our DRC mining assets
outlined in our news release of August 14, 2019, the board of
directors believes the consensual realization to be the best option
available to the Company to extinguish the Resolute loan and still
preserve some value for our shareholders. The cash payment to be
received and additional loan that has been arranged will allow the
Company to satisfy other corporate payables and provide working
capital to allow the Company to explore new business
opportunities,” stated David Netherway, Chairman of Kilo.
