HALIFAX, July 12, 2013 /CNW/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) ("GoGold") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive  US$35 million financing package with Red Kite Mine Finance Funds ("Red Kite") and a US$5 million credit line with CAT Financial ("CAT") for the development and construction of its Parral Tailings Project located in Chihuahua State Mexico. These funds combined with the company's existing treasury will provide the company with access to more than US$55 million. By way of this arrangement, the company is fully-funded for the anticipated US$35 million capital expenditure (see press release dated February 21, 2013 Pre-Feasibility Study) to move its Parral Tailings Project into production, and will have approximately US$20 million available funds to explore other growth opportunities.

The Red Kite financing package includes both an equity component and a debt component.  The equity investment of US$5 million is to be priced at a 5% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average stock price of GoGold preceding the closing date.  The senior secured loan component of US$30 million bears interest at Libor plus 6.5% with the equal quarterly payments over a three year period beginning on September 30, 2014.

Red Kite will receive a fee of 2.89% paid in cash and two million warrants convertible into two million GoGold shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for a term of two years.  The Company has also entered into an offtake agreement with Red Kite for 15 million ounces of silver and 150,000 ounces of gold at market terms at the time of delivery.

The US$5 million CAT credit line is available to lease equipment and bears interest between 4.5% and 4.95% and is repayable over a three year term.
