VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 10,
2024 /CNW/ - Horizon Copper Corp. (TSX-V: HCU)
(OTCQX: HNCUF) ("Horizon Copper", "Horizon", or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a
revolving credit agreement with National Bank of Canada and The Bank of Nova Scotia allowing the Company to borrow up
to US$30 million (the "Revolving
Loan"), with an additional uncommitted accordion of up to
US$20 million, for total availability
of up to US$50 million. The Revolving
Loan has a term of four years, maturing in September 2028 and is extendable subject to
approval by the lenders. Horizon intends to use the Revolving Loan
for future asset acquisitions, its funding requirements related to
the development of the Hod Maden project, and general corporate
purposes. The amounts drawn on the Revolving Loan are subject to
interest at SOFR plus a variable spread of between 2.50%–3.75%, and
the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loan is subject to a standby
fee of between 0.56%–0.84% per annum, both of which are dependent
on the Company's leverage ratio. Under the terms of the credit
agreement, the Company is required to maintain a leverage ratio of
less than 4.0x, excluding all existing debt held by Horizon's
strategic growth partner, Sandstorm Gold Ltd.
"We are pleased to expand our financing capabilities with this
new Revolving Loan," commented Erfan
Kazemi, Horizon's President & CEO. "This credit
facility, coupled with our existing cash reserves, improves
Horizon's financing flexibility as we look to grow the Company and
continue to invest in the development work at Hod Maden."
