Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On July 1, 2008, Montana Tunnels Mining, Inc. ("MTMI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Apollo Gold Corporation ("Apollo Gold"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Facility Agreement, dated October 12, 2007, by and among MTMI, Apollo Gold, Apollo Gold Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Apollo Gold, RMB Holdings Limited, an Australian corporation ("RMBAH"), and RMB Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RMBRI" and, together with RMBAH, "RMB") (as amended and restated by the Amendment, the "Facility Agreement"). Immediately prior to the entry into the Amendment, US$1,654,000 was outstanding under the Facility Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, Apollo Gold amended the Facility Agreement to provide for an additional loan of US$5.15 million from RMB, which amount will be advanced immediately. Immediately following the advancement of the additional loan, the total amount outstanding under the Facility Agreement was US$6,804,000.
The primary use of funds from the Amendment will be the payment of Cdn. $4,000,000 to St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. ("St Andrew") as a partial payment of the purchase price payable under the asset purchase agreement, dated June 6, 2008, and as amended June 30, 2008, pursuant to which St Andrew agreed to sell its stock mill complex, including its mill and related equipment, infrastructure, laboratory and tailings facilities, located near Timmins, Ontario, to Apollo Gold.
The repayment obligations under the Facility Agreement are as follows:
US$1,654,000 is payable on September 30, 2008 and US$1,716,667 is payable on
each of December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. The additional
funds advanced under the Facility Agreement, as amended, will bear interest at
LIBOR plus 2.0% and are guaranteed by Apollo Gold Inc. and Apollo Gold. In
addition, pursuant to the security agreements entered into as part of the
original October 12, 2007 Facility Agreement and that General Security
Agreement, dated July 1, 2008, between Apollo Gold and RMBRI (the "Security
Agreement"), such funds are secured by all of the assets of MTMI and Apollo
Gold, including its Black Fox project. As consideration for entering into the
Amendment, Apollo Gold agreed to pay RMB an arrangement fee of US$100,000 and
issue 650,000 common shares of Apollo Gold to RMB, which common shares would be
registered in the United States on Apollo Gold's existing shelf registration
statement.
In order to meet certain loan criteria, on July 1, 2008, Apollo Gold hedged 5,973 ounces of gold, 50,238 ounces of silver, 1,026 tonnes (approximately 2,260,000 lbs) of lead and 2,784 tonnes (approximately 6,140,000 lbs) of zinc, which equates to approximately 50% of Apollo Gold's share of expected metal production from the Montana Tunnels mine in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter 2009. The hedges are in the form of a no premium collar (buy a put, sell a call) at the following prices:
Gold = put US$800 per ounce, call US$1,075 per ounce; Silver = put US$16.25 per ounce, call US$18.80 per ounce; Lead = put US$0.775 per pound, call US$0.835 per pound; and Zinc = put US$0.80 per pound, call US$0.943 per pound.
