Rambler makes Final Repayment Against Credit facility with
Sprott Resource Lending Partnership
London, England & Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador - Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSXV: RAB, AIM: RMM) ('Rambler' or the 'Company'), a copper and gold producer operating in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, today announces that following a final payment of CAD $1.0 million on 28 February 2014 the outstanding balance of the Company's CAD $10.0 million credit facility with Sprott Resource Lending Partnership ('Sprott') has been repaid.
Cash resources as at 28 February 2014 were CAD $5.5 million.
Norman Williams, President and CEO, commented:
"This is a tremendous achievement for Rambler and demonstrates its ability to generate free cash flow from its Ming Mine asset. Steady production, coupled with meeting budgeted grades and higher than budgeted copper recoveries, has enabled the Company to meet its cash flow targets and focus on repaying this credit facility ahead of schedule.
"As the Company's cash position strengthens, the Board of Directors will continue its review of capital allocation resulting from free cash to maximize shareholder value."
