An announcement from Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. ( (JP:1515) ) is now available.

Nittetsu Mining has amended the borrowing limits and terms of its committed term loan agreements with three major Japanese commercial banks to secure additional funding for the Arqueros Copper Mine Project in Chile, where development costs have risen. The total loan limits will increase in both yen and U.S. dollars, while availability periods are extended, providing the company with greater financing flexibility for the project.

Under the revised agreements, the outstanding loan balances, final repayment date in 2034, and lack of collateral or guarantees remain unchanged, and all existing financial covenants are kept intact. The company expects the impact on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, to be immaterial, indicating that the increased borrowing is manageable within its current financial framework and should not significantly alter its risk profile for stakeholders.
