Hunter Resources plc ("Hunter" or the "Company") (AIM: HUN)
Unaudited Half-Yearly Financial Results for the 6 Months to 30 June 2016 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMANI am pleased to announce the results for Hunter Resources plc ('Hunter' or the 'Company') for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
Hunter Resources plc ("Hunter" or the "Company") is currently suspended on AIM pending the satisfaction of the Rule 9 conditions imposed on the Company by AIM on its re-admission to trading in July 2014. The conditions are that the Company must acquire 51% of its Pampamali gold and base metals project in Peru (details on www.hunter-resources.com). Negotiations to conclude this acquisition and the transfer of the tenements into a new company are at an advanced stage. We anticipate that the Company's shares will return from suspension on completion of the acquisition and the transfer of the tenements. We expect to be able to give an update on this shortly.
The Company announced during the period that it had agreed a new financing facility of £100,000 with Marine Investments (WA) Pty Limited ("Marine"), its largest shareholder, to provide an interim funding facility (the "Facility") to the Company (see Note 4). The Facility came in two parts. The first part of the Facility (the "Initial Facility") involved a loan of £50,000 on terms as announced on 20 June 2016. The second part, which included rolling over the Initial Facility, into a convertible loan note, was subject to the approval by shareholders of certain resolutions relating to the share capital of the Company at the annual general meeting held on 12 July 2016. The terms of the second part of the Facility were also announced on 20 June 2016. As set out in that announcement the Facility is convertible into new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 0.157 pence per ordinary share (being a 15% discount to the closing mid-market price on 14 June 2016) at any time up until maturity.
As announced the Facility was to satisfy the short-term general working capital requirements of the Company, but the Company will look to raise further capital during 2016. More details on this will be announced shortly.
