Das hört sich gut an
On February 21, 2013 Northland received consent from the necessary majority of the bondholders for a release of USD 6 million out of the USD 72.6 million held in an escrow account by the bond trustee. This support together with discussions with the key suppliers to reduce burn -rate will enable the Company to continue its production at Kaunisvaara and transport the iron ore concentrate to Narvik beyond March 4, as previously contemplated.
The Company is now undergoing a challenging period, but I am convinced that we soon will be able to present a long term financial solution to ensure the Company a strong base for continued development of the Company and the Kaunisvaara project. It is important to remember that Northland has considerable assets consisting of ore reserves, a reliable infrastructure and a vital operation that is producing 3-4,000 tonnes of high grade concentrate per day. We also have a strong end-customer base to ship to, such as our first customer Tata Steel in the Netherlands. |
