Carey and Larraín in Chilean mining refinancing
Carey has helped Minera Valle Central, the Chilean subsidiary of Canadian miner Amerigo Resources, refinance part of a loan it previously obtained to build a new waste-processing facility. The lenders, Scotiabank and Export Development Canada, turned to Larraín y Asociados.
The refinancing closed on 26 September.
Minera Valle Central refinanced US$56 million of a US$100 million loan that the company obtained in 2015 and 2017 across two tranches.
It is using the funds to build a waste-processing plant at the Cauquenes mine, located in central Chile.
