Canada Nickel (TSX.V: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) today announced receipt of a letter of interest (“LOI”) from Export Development Canada (“EDC”). The letter, signed on Aug. 30, 2024, states EDC’s interest in providing long term debt financing of up to US$500 million of project debt, as Mandated Lead Arranger, for development of the Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project in Timmins, Ontario (“the Project”).
“We are very pleased with the LOI as it marks an important milestone towards securing a full financing package for Crawford. We look forward to working closely with EDC to complete the due diligence and negotiation process to secure this funding,” said Mark Selby, CEO of Canada Nickel. “The LOI, along with the refundable critical minerals and carbon capture and storage tax credits in excess of US$600 million that the company expects to qualify for the initial phase of Crawford’s development, demonstrates the significant commitment of the federal government to support this critical project as a high priority. Additionally, we continue to make good progress with our financial advisors Deutsche Bank, Scotiabank and Cutfield Freeman to secure the remaining project funding required to begin construction when permits are received, which we expect to be by mid 2025.”
