ASX Announcement
Market Update
Resource Generation Limited (ASX:RES) (Resgen or Company) would like to provide
an update on the funding status of its Boikarabelo Coal Mine in the Waterberg, South
Africa (Project).
In the last market update covering the status of Boikarabelo Project funding (12
November 2018) the Company advised that discussions with the Lender’s Deal Team
(a member of the proposed Lending Syndicate) had confirmed that this Lender remained
committed to the Project from a technical, commercial and strategic perspective,
however a short delay had arisen in scheduling a Credit Committee meeting.
Since providing the abovementioned update, Management has been in regular contact
with the Lender’s Deal Team in anticipation that Credit Committee and subsequent
Board approval could be finalised before the Christmas break in South Africa. It is now
apparent that this timeline will not be met. This further delay highlights the imperative of
progressing (in tandem) an alternative funding option with a party or parties as a
substitute in the current proposed Lending Syndicate (first reported in ASX
Announcement: 20 August 2018).
This further delay will have an impact on the targeted date for financial close and the
Board and Management will therefore be focusing on strategies to conserve cash and/or
secure any required additional financial support.
