"We continue to show solid progress on our project financing, firstly with the SoftBank private placement, then with the Streaming Agreement and now with the launching of the Bond Offering. We are getting closer to putting together a comprehensive project financing that will take us through project construction and onto commercial production," added Guy Bourassa.

Closing of Financing Transactions

The financing transactions contemplated by the Bond Offering, the Streaming Agreement, the SoftBank private placement and the Equity Offerings are intended to provide a comprehensive project financing package for the Whabouchi mine and the Shawinigan plant. Closing of these financing transactions and the release of funds thereunder will be subject to, among other things, the successful marketing and closing of the Bond Offering and Equity Offerings and the execution of definitive agreements in connection therewith, and the receipt of regulatory approvals (including approval of the TSX). Each such financing transaction will be conditional on the completion of one another.
