Gold Elects to Repay Remaining $1.0 Million of Convertible Notes in Cash
Rather Than in Stock
Santa Fe Gold Corp (OTCBB:SFEG), a U.S.-based
mining and exploration enterprise focused on gold, silver, copper and
industrial minerals, announced that beginning with the monthly payment
due November 1, 2007, it had elected to repay in cash the remaining $1.0
million of senior secured convertible notes required to be repaid in connection
with a $3.5 million financing completed in 2006.
Since March 2007, the company has been
paying principal and interest by the issuance of its common stock. The
last three payments total approximately $1.0 million, with the final payment
scheduled January 1, 2008.
Pierce Carson, CEO, said, “Our stock price
has declined over the past several months. The amount of stock we issue
for payments is tied to our stock price and we have had to issue more
stock as the price has declined. We have determined that this trend is
not in the best interest of stockholders.
“With respect to our stock price,
we believe there now is a very significant disconnect between the stock
price and the fundamental value of the company’s assets, considering our
substantial precious metals resources and based on peer company comparisons.”
The main purpose of the 2006 financing
was to provide cash for acquisition of the Summit silver-gold project,
which the company acquired in May 2006. The Summit project is now ready
to proceed to production, subject only to the arrangement of construction
financing.
