The debt facility will fund ore sorting and processing equipment for the Bralorne Gold Project, with security limited to the equipment rather than the project’s mineral claims or other assets.
Talisker Resources said its wholly owned subsidiary Bralorne Gold Mines has entered into a loan agreement with Two Shores Capital Corp. for a delayed-draw term loan of up to $11 million to fund ore sorting and processing equipment at the Bralorne Gold Project in southern British Columbia. The facility includes an initial advance of $2.4 million and up to $8.6 million of further advances tied to equipment purchase milestones. It carries a 36-month term, 14% annual interest on amounts drawn, and a 1% closing fee on each advance withheld from proceeds. Talisker said the initial advance will reimburse deposits already paid to equipment vendors, while later draws will fund remaining purchases. The loan is secured by a first-priority purchase money security interest over the equipment and related insurance proceeds, backed by a performance bond of up to $5 million and a guarantee from Talisker, with no charge over Bralorne’s mineral claims or other project assets. President and CEO Terry Harbort said the financing provides non-dilutive capital as the company advances toward a preliminary economic assessment later this year.
