The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") announces that Auroch Exploration (Pty) Ltd ("Auroch") has today converted US$250,000 of the outstanding loan agreement with Auroch.
As announced on 9 February 2017, the Company reached an agreement regarding the outstanding amounts owed by the Company to Auroch in relation to the acquisition of the Manica Gold Project and, inter alia, agreed to issue unsecured Convertible Loan Notes to Auroch to the total value of US$748,136 (which was repaid in full by 28 March 2017). A further US$1,000,000 remained outstanding under the loan agreement (subsequently to be replaced with a convertible note on substantially the same terms as the Convertible Loan Notes following approval of shareholders of the relevant authorities at the General Meeting held on 13 March 2017). On 19 September 2017, Auroch converted US$200,000 and has today converted a further $250,000 of the outstanding amount under the loan agreement. The Company has therefore today issued 7,873,758 new ordinary shares to Auroch at an issue price of 2.4p per new ordinary share. Following this conversion, US$610,000 (including accrued interest) will remain outstanding under the loan agreement.
