GM
Statement
At the conclusion of the GM, Harry
Anagnostaras-Adams, Executive Chairman of the Company, made the
following brief statement highlighting the exciting outlook for the
Company:
"Following today's approvals, I am pleased to welcome several
notable international investors to the KEFI share register.
These shareholders join us at an exciting time with the full
funding package for the Tulu Kapi Gold Project to close this
quarter.
"During December 2024 project Early Works were essentially
completed, our long-standing banks set out the final terms and
conditions of the now-enlarged US$240 million secured debt capital
facility, the project equity capital terms were consequently
refined amongst the identified regional and sector-specialist
investors, and the Government approved and proceeded to submit to
Parliament for fast-track ratification AFC's Country
Membership.
"The Company has already triggered final certification of
project readiness, enabling full project launch and commencement of
Major Works, which includes community resettlement, procurement and
major construction.
"I
look forward to updating shareholders over the coming weeks with
our progress with respect to financial close and preparation of
Major Works, as well as other potential developments on KEFI's
other assets."
