Australian coking coal producer Bowen is moving towards its target of reaching 4Mtpa production by 2024 with a series of funding arrangements totalling about $A190M to support its new mine developments.
Bowen can now reach financial close on its acquisitions of the Burton and New Lenton assets from New Hope Corporation.
They include a $US55M secured corporate debt facility agreement with Taurus Mining Finance Fund No 2 primarily for rebuilding Burton infrastructure, a $A70M secured performance bonding facility agreement with New Hope mainly for financial provisioning bonds and $40M additional unsecured convertible loan notes for working capital and fast-tracking steady-state production.
