Report this content

Tekes - the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation, have decided to extend the grace period of the current loan of 514 000 EUR (4 972 KSEK) to Sotkamo Silver Oy. The first amortisation is to be done in June 2019 instead of June 2017.

Tekes has also changed the terms of the development loan offer of 9.4 MEUR (91 MSEK) that was earlier granted to the Company’s fully owned subsidiary Sotkamo Silver Oy. According to the new terms, the project financing of the Silver Mine shall be secured before December 31st, 2017. The terms have also been amended and the external project financing needed is now 20 MEUR while being previously 26 MEUR. As the project's total financing needs have been adjusted down, Tekes's development loans will also be adjusted accordingly to MEUR 6.1 (59 MSEK).

Tekes finances and boosts a wide range of innovation activities in research communities, industry and service sectors.

"I am very pleased about this decision of TEKES. The loan possibility strengthens the company’s possibility to fund the Silver Mine project. The loan will be used to develop an eco-friendly mine based on Best Available Technology (BAT) and the ore sorting technology. One of the main aims is to take advantage of an ore-sorter to increase material and energy efficiency. We believe that the ore-sorter will improve the project's profitability further, when it will be introduced in the production after a ramp-up period”, says CEO Timo Lindborg
