Interest is payable on any outstanding borrowings at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 4.5%. The Facility is secured by a partial pledge of Anagold shares and a guarantee by the Corporation. Conditions precedent have been satisfied and first draw-down was made on the date of closing. The Facility is available for general corporate purposes of the borrowers.

Edward Dowling, President and CEO of Anatolia commented, "An enormous amount of work has been accomplished at Çöpler and key production systems are currently being tested and commissioned. The current schedule shows the first gold pour will occur in mid-December; however, unanticipated events could push this important milestone into January. As such, and after reviewing a number of alternatives, the Company has closed a backstop financing facility with Standard Bank to ensure sufficient liquidity during this vital period. We are excited about the new relationship with Standard Bank which has proven to be a resourceful business partner."

Ted Kavanagh, Mining & Metals Director at Standard Americas, Inc. (a member company of the Standard Bank Group Limited) in New York, said "We are pleased to be entering into this relationship with Anatolia at a time of significant transition and growth for the Company.  We are especially excited to be assisting them with the Çöpler project development in Turkey, which is a focus country for Standard Bank."
