VANCOUVER, BC, April 27,
2023 /CNW/ - Pathfinder Ventures Inc.
(TSXV: RV) (the "Company," "RV" or "Pathfinder.") is pleased to
announce the rezoning approval of its 1.892-acre property in
Agassiz, British Columbia.
Pathfinder purchased the property in December 2021 with plans of expansion. The
property is adjacent to Pathfinder's existing Agassiz camp resort.
At the time of purchase, the property was zoned Rural
Residential, and required a rezoning to commercial use allowing the
RV resort expansion. Once proper permits are obtained, Pathfinder
can expand its existing operation in Agassiz, allowing an additional 25 new RV
sites and recreational space.
"Resort expansions are low-hanging fruit when it comes to
growth, where most amenities and staff are already in place, as
they are in Agassiz,"
said Joe Bleackley, CEO and Founder of Pathfinder
Ventures.
Refinancing and Debenture Holder
Interest Payment
Pathfinder is also pleased to report that Pathfinder and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Pathfinder Camp Resorts (Parksville) Inc. ("PCR-Parksville"), et al, have entered into a
$4.2M secured loan agreement with a
third-party private lender to consolidate the existing first and
second mortgages (the "Parksville Mortgages") on the Parksville property/camp resort and provide
additional working capital to Pathfinder. The proceeds of the loan
will be used to pay out the Parksville Mortgages, to pay out the
interest due on the Series 2021-07.CD10-A and CD10-B debentures,
and with the balance to be used as general working
capital.
In connection with the loan, Pathfinder has entered into a
general security agreement and certain collateral assignments and
assurances over its present and after acquired personal property
(collectively, a "Security Interest"). PCR-Parksville has granted the lender a new first
mortgage over the Parksville
property, together with a similar Security Interest. The loan
proceeds have been further guaranteed by two of Pathfinder's wholly
owned subsidiaries, Pacific Frontier Investments Inc. ("PFI") and
Pathfinder Camp Resorts (Fort
Langley) Inc. ("PCR-Fort"), and secured by way of a Security
Interest. Pathfinder, PCR-Parksville, PFI and PCR-Fort have also granted
the lender a right of first refusal in respect of any future sale
of real property.
The loan has a maturity date of 36 months following the date of
advance and will bear interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum. In
the first year, monthly payments will be interest only. Following
the first year, monthly payments will be blended principal and
interest, based on a 15-year amortization term calculated from the
date of advance. No bonus shares or finder fees are payable in
connection with the transaction.

Forward-Looking Information
Cautionary Statement
This news release contains forward-looking statements
relating to the rezoning and refinancing. Forward-looking
statements are often identified by terms such as "will", "may",
"should", "anticipate", "expects" and similar expressions. All
statements other than statements of historical fact, included in
this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding
the future plans and objectives of the Corporation, are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be
accurate and actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
the Corporation's expectations include risks detailed from time to
time in the filings made by the Corporation with securities
regulations.
The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the
preparation of any forward-looking information may prove to be
incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to
differ materially from those predicted, as a result of numerous
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of
which are beyond the control of the Corporation. The reader is
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
information. Such information, although considered reasonable by
management at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect
and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.
Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are
expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The
forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made
as of the date of this news release. Except as required by law, the
Corporation does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or
to revise any forward-looking statements that are contained or
incorporated in this press release.
In the case of RV, this news release includes certain
"forward-looking statements" which are particular to RV and are not
comprised of historical facts. Forward-looking statements include
estimates and statements that describe RV's future plans,
objectives or goals, including words to the effect that RV or its
management expects a stated condition or result to occur.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as
"believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could",
"would", "will", or "plan". Since forward-looking statements are
based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by
their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Although these statements are based on information currently
available to RV, RV provides no assurance that actual results will
meet management's expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other
factors involved with forward-looking information could cause
actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Forward looking information in this
news release includes, but is not limited to, RV's objectives,
goals or future plans, statements, and refinancing and funding.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to,
the ability of the RV to successfully implement its development
strategy and whether this will yield the expected benefits;
competitive factors in RV's industry sector; the success or failure
of product development programs; currently existing applicable laws
and regulations or future applicable laws and regulations that may
affect RV' s business; decisions of regulatory authorities and the
timing thereof; Covid-19 related risks, availability of properties;
the economic circumstances surrounding RV's business, including
general economic conditions in Canada, the US and worldwide; changes in
exchange rates; changes in the equity market; inflation;
uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing
needed in the future; and those other risks disclosed in the filing
statement or other disclosure document prepared and supplied on
Sedar. Although RV believes that the assumptions and factors used
in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release
are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such
information, which only applies as of the date of this news
release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur
in the disclosed time frames or at all. RV disclaims any intention
or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
other than as required by law.
