VVC Exploration secures $4 million through 12% loan facility with Aeris

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 29 - VVC Exploration Corp. said it negotiated a $4 million loan facility with Aeris Trading Corp. The deal will settle in two equal tranches of $2 million each.

The loan is due in five years and carries a 12% coupon. The loan will be secured by half of subsidiary Camex Mining Development Group Inc.'s 33% ownership of the Samalayuca Copper Project in Chihuahua, Mexico.

Aeris also will receive 1 million bonus common shares and warrants for 2 million shares per each $500,000 drawdown, which are exercisable at C$0.08 for five years. The strike price is a 33.33% premium to the Jan. 28 closing share price of C$0.06.

Proceeds will be used to start production at the Samalayuca Copper Project and may also be used for corporate operations.

VVC is a Toronto-based precious minerals and base metals exploration and development company with gold and silver prospects in Mexico and Ontario.
