Carpathian Gold Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Carpathian") advises that it has concluded a further extended forbearance and amendment agreement (the "Agreement") with Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie").
The Agreement provides for a US$5 million increase in the amount of funds made available under Tranche 3 of the project finance facility entered into between Macquarie and the Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mineração Riacho dos Machados Ltda. ("MRDM"), for a total facility of up to US$170 million of which approximately $US164.9 million is currently drawn. Under the terms of the Agreement, the forbearance expires on July 31, 2014, with repayment of any funds drawn down under Tranche 3 to be effected by December 31, 2014. There is no assurance that any or all of the funds to be provided to MRDM under the terms of the Agreement will actually be made available to it as any disbursements thereof remain solely at Macquarie's discretion, nor is there any assurance that Macquarie will agree to any further extensions of the forbearance.
Carpathian also wishes to announce that Mr. Rishi Tibriwal, Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, has left to pursue other opportunities and that Mr. Carlos Pinglo has been appointed as his replacement. Mr. Pinglo is an economist with over 20 years senior management experience, including working as Chief Financial Officer for a number of public companies as well as in corporate finance, strategic planning, financial reporting, turnarounds and mergers & acquisitions.
