G Mining Ventures Corp. has drawn approximately $42-million on its $75-million senior secured term loan with an affiliate of Franco-Nevada Corp., as previously announced in July, 2022. The $250-million gold stream, also announced in July, 2022, has been fully drawn. The proceeds of the term loan will be used to continue the development and construction of G Mining’s 100-per-cent-owned Tocantinzinho gold project (TZ), currently under construction in the state of Para, Brazil. The project remains on track and on budget for commercial production in H2 2024. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.

In connection with the draw on the term loan, G Mining provided evidence to Franco-Nevada that it has sufficient financing to fully satisfy the remaining project costs required to achieve commercial production and project completion.

Louis-Pierre Gignac, president and chief executive officer, commented: “This is yet another significant milestone which demonstrates that the GMIN team has systematically derisked the development and construction of Tocantinzinho, and has met the extensive list of obligations to access this funding from Franco-Nevada. We hope that our fellow shareholders also take comfort that TZ remains on track and on budget for commercial production in H2 2024.”

Virtual site tour and feasibility study presentation
