In consideration for the extension and cancellation of equity-related rights as mentioned above, the Company has agreed to pay the Note holders a loan bonus of US$100,000 capitalized in the Notes on August 2, 2023 and to increase the interest rate to 15% pa for the period from August 2, 2023 to October 31, 2023. The total amount due on October 31, 2023 will be US$1,356,531 (Cdn$1,795,000 at the current exchange rate).
The loan extension provides the Company with additional time as it seeks to secure US$5 million funding by September 30, 2023 to fulfill its commitment under the technology license agreement with Purdue Research Foundation.
Alfredo Ramos Plasencia, CEO said, "We are in active discussion with potential financing sources seeking to secure sufficient funding to enable us to execute our strategic plan to provide commercial separation of magnet rare earths that we laid out in more detail in our press release dated March 30, 2023."
