This filing elaborates on the previously announced completion of the US$750 million Senior Secured Notes offering. The detailed breakdown of how the proceeds will be utilized is highly significant. A substantial portion, approximately US$470 million, is allocated to support the remaining construction at the Eskay Creek project, which is critical for the company's future production. Additionally, US$184 million will be used to repurchase 66.67% of the Gold Stream, reducing future obligations and simplifying the financing structure. The prefunding of 18 months of interest payments (US$94 million) further de-risks the project's initial operational phase. This comprehensive financing package strengthens the company's balance sheet and provides clear runway for its key development project.
