Lydian to get further IFC investment of CDN$1.4 mln
Mineral exploration and development company Lydian International Ltd said the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, will invest a further CDN$1.42 million in the company in return for shares priced at CDN$0.42 each.
The IFC flagged its intention to make such an investment in January 2009.
Coupled with the recently announced investment of CDN$1.6 million from the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development, this move puts the company in a strong financial position, providing the capital required to advance current projects.
IFC's stake in Lydian will increase to approximately 18 percent.
"The investment will be IFC's fourth investment in Lydian. As an equity partner, IFC has provided Lydian with continued access to finance, influential in-country support, and valuable advice to manage environmental, social and governance risks of our projects", said Tim Coughlin, Lydian's CEO.
