FINANCING25 Aug 2020 13:26
PXC will be earning free cash flow from sales such that any debt will be paid off by 2024 (from Red Star Silver alone!).....
After raising ca.$2.54m in equity finance in 2019, we expect PXC to raise a further $3.0m in 2020 and $6.5m in 2021. In terms of financing mine construction/working capital and corporate expenses in 2021, we are assuming that the ca.$32.5m aggregate cost is financed on an 80:20 debt:equity basis.
PXC has previously indicated its aim of minimising the amount of equity issuance in favour of debt and, potentially, other types of project finance – for example production offtake deals. The company has appointed a specialist mining finance firm, Medea Natural Resources, as its lead financial adviser to arrange project financing, and discussions with potential investors have been taking place.
