VANCOUVER, Dec. 06, 2024 - Patagonia Gold Corp. ("Patagonia" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGDC) is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with Cantomi Capital Ltd. ("Cantomi") to increase the maximum aggregate amount of the Cantomi Loan (as defined below) to US$40 million and to extend its maturity.
The original loan facility, which Cantomi provided in February 2019 for US$15 million, and with a maturity date of December 31, 2025, was subsequently amended and further increased to US$40 million with a maturity date of December 31, 2026 (as amended, the "Cantomi Loan").
