Hawsons Iron Ltd ( (AU:HIO) ) has issued an announcement.
Hawsons Iron has received a non-binding expression of interest from German export finance specialist KfW IPEX to provide structured debt funding for German-sourced mining and processing equipment for the Hawsons Iron Project. The proposed facility could finance up to 85% of eligible German equipment, potentially covering about A$1.37 billion of capex, or roughly 31% of the project’s total A$4.43 billion funding requirement.
Any final loan remains subject to detailed technical, financial, ESG and permitting due diligence, as well as credit approvals, export credit agency cover from Euler Hermes and the involvement of a strong industrial sponsor. Management and advisers say the interest from KfW IPEX marks a significant milestone for Hawsons’ financing strategy, signalling growing international lender confidence and strengthening the company’s position in ongoing funding talks with strategic partners.
