Troilus Gold Corp. Expands Debt Financing Mandate
Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FRA: CM5R) is excited to announce a significant increase in its debt financing mandate from US$700 million to a remarkable US$1 billion. This decision is a testament to the strong backing from prominent global financial institutions like Societe Generale, KfW IPEX-Bank, and Export Development Canada, who are playing pivotal roles as Mandated Lead Arrangers (MLAs). The enhanced financing will be directed towards the development and construction of the promising Troilus Project, which is situated in north-central Québec.
Significance of the Expanded Financing Mandate
The upsizing of this finance mandate indicates not only the strength of the current commodity markets but also reflects a substantial improvement in project economics beyond the conservative estimates laid out in the previous Feasibility Study. Such a move underscores the unyielding confidence of the Company's lending partners and highlights Troilus’ emergence as a critical player in the North American copper-gold mining sector.
Commitment to Sustainable Development
Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus, expressed his pride in the team for their unwavering commitment to this venture. He stated that they are not merely focused on immediate financial structures but are intent on creating a long-term operation based on robust economics, technical excellence, and stringent environmental standards. The increase to US$1 billion is anticipated to facilitate a comprehensive funding package aimed for construction in the next year, enhancing their ability to unlock lasting value for stakeholders and communities.
Ongoing Due Diligence and Future Steps
As the MLAs continue their technical, financial, and environmental due diligence, progress is on track. The completion of this process is expected in the first quarter of the following year, contingent upon necessary credit approvals and finalizing financing agreements that will guide the development of the Troilus Project.

The involvement of Auramet International Inc. as the project finance advisor reflects Troilus' strategy in structuring tailored financing solutions aimed at propelling the Troilus Project towards fruition. Their expertise will be crucial in navigating this comprehensive funding landscape.
