Ohioย Bond Facilityย Update
Inย Julyย 2008 Zincox entered into a US$48 million three-year bond facility ("theย Bondย Facility") for the purpose of part-funding the Company's Ohio Recycling Project. The terms of the Bond Facility were given in the Company's announcement on 13 June 2008.
The Company has been examining various ways to optimise the scheduling of its cash deployment and to reduce costs, so as to conserve its cash position as it develops its first recycling project in theย USA. These options would not require a draw down of the full Bond Facility and following an approach from two of the holders, the Companyย has agreedย to receiveย US$1.1 million from these holders in consideration for the cancellation of US$11 million part of the Bond Facility, which has now been reduced to US$37m.
Following the recent receipt of the deferred payment in respect of the Shaimerden Mine forย 2008, the companyย alsoย holdsย approximatelyย ยฃ62ย million in cash.
The Chairman, Andrew Woollett says: "We continueย activelyย to progress our plans for the recycling of steel industry waste in theย USAย but inย parallel,ย we are always seeking to reduce costs and conserve our cash position, particularly inย theseย very turbulent market conditions."
