Troilus Mining Corp. Expands Debt Financing Mandate to US$1.2 Billion

Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5) announced that it has increased its previously announced debt‑financing mandate from a maximum of US$1.0 billion to US$1.2 billion. The expansion is supported by a syndicate of leading international financial institutions, including Société Générale, KfW IPEX‑Bank and Export‑and‑Development Canada (EDC), as well as export‑credit agencies.

The larger mandate is intended to serve as the cornerstone of the overall financing structure for the company’s copper‑gold project located in central‑north Quebec, Canada. The project is positioned as a long‑term, high‑value operation that could become one of North America’s significant copper‑gold mines.

Financing Structure and Objectives

  • Syndicated lenders: The financing is led by a consortium of prominent international banks and export‑credit agencies.
  • Capital flexibility: The debt facility is expected to provide a flexible and competitive source of capital.
  • Strategic alignment: The mandate expansion reflects strong alignment between Troilus and its lenders, underscored by the project’s scale, long expected life, and strategic importance.

According to Chief Executive Officer Justin Reid, the increase in the mandate is a critical step toward securing a fully funded construction decision. The company has progressed from basic engineering to detailed engineering, reinforcing lender confidence as the execution plan becomes more defined.

Troilus highlights several operational advantages that enhance project attractiveness:

  1. On‑site gold production: The company will produce gold bars at the mine site.
  2. Copper concentrate export: A copper concentrate rich in precious metals will be shipped to both domestic and international markets.

These options provide flexibility that the lenders view as a significant asset as the project moves toward construction.

Due Diligence and Approval Process

Technical, financial, environmental and social due diligence has advanced with the principal arrangers and is progressing toward completion. Final approval of the debt financing remains contingent upon credit approvals, signature of definitive documentation, and satisfaction of associated pre‑conditions.

Troilus retains Auramet International Inc. as a project‑finance advisor to support structuring and implementation of a comprehensive financing solution.
