Marketwired
THEMAC Resources Group Limited ("THEMAC" or "the Company") (TSX
VENTURE: MAC) is pleased to announce that, on July 15, 2011, the
Company has entered into an Amending Loan Agreement (the "Amending
Agreement") with Tulla Resources Group Pty Ltd. ("Tulla"). Tulla
will increase its loan under the original February 25, 2011
agreement (the "Original Agreement") with THEMAC from its original
amount of CAD$5,250,000 to CAD$10,000,000. The advance bears simple
interest at 10% per annum and is repayable on or before June 4,
2012.
Tulla has already advanced an additional $550,000 beyond the
amount specified under the Original Agreement.
"The increase in loan facilities is expected to meet THEMAC's
working capital requirements for the balance of the 2011 calendar
year", said Barrett Sleeman, President and CEO of the Company.
Prime application of these funds will be to extend the drilling
program currently underway, ongoing permitting costs and to fund
the pre-feasibility study announced to the market on July 15
2011.
The advance from Tulla is a related party transaction under TSX
Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 because Tulla is a control person of
the Company. The Company is relying on the exemption from the
requirement to obtain a valuation on the basis that the Issuer is
not listed on a market specified under MI 61-101, and the Company
is relying on the exemption from minority shareholder approval
provided under MI 61-101 in relation to loans made on commercially
reasonable terms which are not convertible into voting or equity
securities of the Company.
The Amending Agreement and loan advance were approved by the
independent directors of the Company.
About the Copper Flat Project
Copper Flat is a former producing mine located approximately 20
miles southwest of Truth or Consequences in Sierra County, State of
New Mexico, USA. Permitting for a return of the project to
production is at an advanced stage, and a prefeasibility study is
in progress and targeted for completion during 2011.
The Copper Flat project is a porphyry
copper-molybdenum-gold-silver deposit. The deposit has NI43-101
Indicated Mineral Resources of 107 million short tons grading
0.303% copper and 0.01% molybdenum for 645 million lbs copper and
21.4 million lbs molybdenum, plus Inferred Mineral Resources of 46
million short tons grading 0.24% copper and 0.006% molybdenum for
222 million lbs copper and 5.6 million lbs molybdenum.
The gold and silver content of the deposit is evidenced by
historic production and metallurgical test work, and gold and
silver are targeted for incorporation into the deposit's NI 43-101
Mineral Resource statement following completion and interpretation
of a re-assay program using historic drill pulps.
An NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") dated June
30, 2010 and updated February 25, 2011 has been completed for
Copper Flat and can be viewed on SEDAR.
Civil infrastructure in place at Copper Flat includes a tailings
dam, largely pre-stripped open pit, power lines, water well field
and pipeline, access roads, diversion channels and building
foundations. The project land package comprises in excess of 1,200
hectares. For more information visit www.nmcopper.com.
