@bluegrass The RK finance is no longer available. Apparently, the bod believe that the bid of GF will be successful and there will be no need for the facility. See RNS 7300c dd 22/6/21

".......Debt facility
As announced by the Company on 2 February 2021, recognising the passage of time from the initial US$150 million debt facility agreement with RK Mine Finance ("RK"), Bacanora and RK signed a non-binding indicative term sheet to amend certain terms. The Company and RK have been in discussions for a number of months with a view to agreeing legally binding terms and documentation. The first tranche of the RK debt facility, US$25 million, was drawn down in July 2018 and Bacanora will maintain this first tranche in accordance with the existing terms of the debt facility. However, due to extension fee considerations and the limited availability period for an extension post the expiry date of 18 June 2021, the Company and RK have agreed that the remaining undrawn facility, amounting to US$125 million, will no longer be available for draw down. The Company will continue to engage with RK as well as seek alternative terms with other debt providers in light of the current favourable debt market conditions.
With an aggregated cash balance of US$161 million as at 31 May 2021 (including cash of US$30 million in Sonora Lithium Ltd), the Company has sufficient funds to support the short-term funding requirements and the ongoing construction program for the next 18 months. The existing cash balance will cover a significant portion of the capital cost requirements for the Company's 50% share of the Project."
