(GMX – Toronto Stock Exchange, G1MN – Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz, LS Exchange, TTMzero, Düsseldorf and Quotrix Düsseldorf Stock Exchangesand GLBXF – OTCQX International in the US) is pleased to inform shareholders that Cerrado Gold Inc. (CERT-TSXV, CRDOF-OTCQX) has announced that it has “completed the tender process for its Export Credit Agency (ECA) Supported Non-Recourse Project Financing, and expects to complete the on-boarding and appointment process within the next few weeks.” Cerrado has chosen an international bank to act as Mandated Lead Arranger (MLA) for the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in the Chibougamau area of Quebec (click to Cerrado press release of October 18, 2023).
