Hong Kong, August 25, 2022 - Queen's Road Capital Investment Ltd. (TSX: QRC) (the "Company" or "QRC") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Los Andes Copper Ltd. (TSXV: LA) ("Los Andes") whereby the Company will invest an additional US$5,000,000 in Los Andes by way of convertible debenture bringing our total investment in Los Andes to US$14,000,000.
The convertible debenture will have the same terms as the 2021/22 convertible debentures: a 5-year term, carry an 8.0% coupon and will be convertible into Los Andes common shares at a share price of C$16.75. The interest is payable quarterly, 5.0% in cash and 3.0% in shares at the 20-day volume weighted average price prior to each interest payment date. Use of proceeds will be to complete the Vizcachitas pre-feasibility study.
Warren Gilman, Chairman and CEO of the Company commented: "QRC is honored to provide continued support to Los Andes as the company nears completion of its PFS. The Los Andes share price has almost doubled since our original investment a year ago and we have no doubt that further shareholder value will be created with these funds."
Los Andes Copper Ltd. is a Canadian company focused on developing the Vizcachitas copper-molybdenum porphyry project in Chile. The company owns 100% of the Vizcachitas project, one of the largest advanced copper deposits in the Americas. Vizcachitas is to become Chile's next major copper mine. The project is a copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit, located 150 km north of Santiago, in an area of very good infrastructure. The project is currently undertaking a pre-feasibility study.
