Extract Capital leads $20 mln refinancing of Energold Drilling
Canadian specialty drilling company Energold Drilling Corp (TSV-V: EGD) has agreed to receive a $20 million secured convertible loan in a deal led by Extract Capital, a U.S. natural resources investment firm. Extract will account for $15 million of the loan, the rest of which will be provided by a syndicate of existing debenture holders, new investors and others. With the deal's closing in March, Extract will be entitled to nominate one board member. Vancouver-based Energold, which serves the mining, energy, water, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, said the proceeds will be used to repay its current loans and credit facilities.
