(the "Company") has entered into an agreement with its lenders under certain loan facilities for Terra Mining AB, the owner of the Bjorkdal operations in Sweden, pursuant to which the lenders will not seek repayment of the outstanding debt of US$31.1 million prior to December 31, 1999, on certain conditions. The agreement has been negotiated and entered into in response to demand letters for payment of principal and interest under the respective loan facilities. The agreement provides that the lenders will assume control of Terra. In consideration, the lenders will release the guarantees, provided by the Company, of the obligations due under the loan facilities. During the period up to May 15, 1999, the lenders may not sell Terra or the underlying assets unless the sale yields an amount sufficient to satisfy the debt in full. Any sale during such period will be subject to a right of first refusal on the part of the Company that would require the Company to match the sale price and pay reasonable break up fees. Any residual interest, if the sale occurs prior to December 31, 1999, would be paid to the Company. The Company may at any time repay the loans in full. The decision was taken by the Company after careful deliberation and taking into consideration a number of factors, including Terra's immediate cash requirements and the advantages of obtaining releases while maintaining residual interests in the companies and assets. The lenders, in assuming operational control, will be responsible for the cash requirements and the Company understands that they will advance at least US$1 million to meet Terra's immediate needs and may defer interest payments. The Company is continuing negotiations with the lenders to the Jacobina operations and expects to reach an agreement with the lenders relating to the Company's obligations under this facility.
