Phoenix Copper Limited
('Phoenix' or the 'Company')
Extension of Loan Facility
Phoenix Copper Ltd (AIM: PXC, OTCQX ADR: PXCLY), the AIM-quoted USA-focused base and precious metals company confirms that the Initial Term of the short-term $2,000,000 loan facility, first announced on 24 March 2023 (the "Loan Facility"), has been extended until 2 January 2024. Although the Loan Facility can be extended until 23 March 2024, whilst the Loan Facility remains within the Initial Term, the lender is not entitled to convert principal or other amounts into the Company's ordinary shares.
The Company has requested this extension in order to allow further time to conclude ongoing discussions with various investors regarding the Company's proposed corporate copper bond issue, as disclosed in the Company's interim accounts dated 28 September 2023. Although there can be no certainty until the bonds have been issued and settled, the Company confirms that these discussions are at an advanced stage and the Directors remain confident that the bond issue will close, thus allowing the Company to have access to the relevant construction funding when required.
Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance
Phoenix is committed to meeting and exceeding the environmental standards required by law as a core value of the Company. The baseline environmental data collected to date will be used to further the permitting process, but as importantly, will be used as the building blocks for the Company's ongoing Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) platform, overseen by the Company's ESG & Sustainability Committee. The Company has recently published its inaugural Sustainability Report, which can be viewed on the Company's website.
