This exercise reduces the outstanding units to $1-million (U.S.). The original $5-million (U.S.) in units was used to acquire a portion of SouthernEra's 70.4-per-cent interest in Messina Limited, which holds a 100-per-cent interest in the Messina platinum group metals project in South Africa. Rand Merchant Bank was appointed by Messina Limited last December to arrange and structure senior debt financing for the completion of construction and startup of the Messina project. These arrangements are expected to be completed in the near future.
