Jervois secures US$100 million bond offering to fund Idaho Cobalt Operations
Highlights:
--Jervois has successfully priced and closed the books on its subsidiary’s offering of senior secured bonds to raise US$100 million, guaranteed by Jervois
--Proceeds from the bond issue will be used to fund construction of Jervois’ Idaho Cobalt Operations (“ICO”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and bring it into production
--Jervois expects to commence commercial concentrate production at ICO from mid-2022
--The bond issue is repayable in mid-2026 and preserves commercial flexibility through ICO construction by not obliging Jervois to irrevocably commit cobalt supply early
--Jervois continues to advance funding support discussions with the U.S. Government
