Gammon Gold Announces Replacement Credit Facility

HALIFAX, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ - Gammon Gold Inc. ("Gammon") (TSX:GAM and NYSE:GRS): Gammon is pleased to announce that it has restructured and replaced its prior syndicated credit facility with a standalone US$30 million revolving line of credit that will be offered 100% through The Bank of Nova Scotia and will mature 24 months from the date of closing.
The new credit facility terms are expected to enhance Gammon's net cash flow profile as there will be no principal repayments other than a one-time payment on the maturity date equal to the drawn loan balance at that point in time.
Rene Marion, Chief Executive Officer and President of Gammon Gold commented, "We are pleased to have negotiated an increased revolving line of credit facility with The Bank of Nova Scotia. This facility, when combined with our recent US$115 million equity financing, ensures that the Company has the financial base required to accelerate the expanded company-wide exploration programs in 2010 as well as the next phase of exploration development at our key Guadalupe y Calvo development property."
