Queen's Road Capital now holds US$5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures. The debentures have a 5-year term and carry an 8.0% annual coupon, payable quarterly.

Commenting on the completion of Queen's Road Capital's latest investment, Warren Gilman, Chairman & CEO, stated: "We are delighted to further diversify our exposure to the highest quality orebodies to now include copper in addition to our existing uranium and silver investments.
