The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, March 19, edition that Royal Oak Mines must find about $85 million in the next 30 days to complete its Kemess gold and copper mine or it will have to bring the project to a temporary halt. The Globe's Ann Gibbon writes that adding to Royal Oak's woes, its credit rating has been lowered, contractors have walked off the job at Kemess and the project is over budget. Yet Peggy Witte, Royal Oak's CEO and founder, insists it's not on the verge of bankruptcy. She said yesterday $85 million would meet Kemess's immediate cash needs and give Royal Oak a cushion to avoid problems later on. Royal Oak is talking with interested parties about getting it out of its financial distress, and is extremely close to putting the pin in the transaction, says Ms Witte. She disclosed that Royal Oak has even been looking for buyers for the whole company. It has opened up a data room for interested bidders but none have come forward.
