Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 26 - Noront Resources Ltd. said it arranged a $15 million loan facility with Resource Capital Fund V LP.

The 10% facility matures on Feb. 25, 2014, and automatically rolls into an 8% convertible loan due on Dec. 31, 2015 if the facility is not repaid prior to its maturity.

The Convertible Loan may be converted into common shares at C$0.45 per share at any time after the facility's maturity date and prior to Dec. 31, 2015. The conversion price is a 73.08% premium to the Feb. 25 closing share price of C$0.26.

Proceeds will be used for development of the company's Eagle's Nest nickel, copper, platinum, palladium project, working capital and corporate requirements.

Noront is a nickel, copper, platinum and palladium exploration company based in Toronto.
