TSX Venture: KBLT
OTCQX: CBLLF
FRA: 27O

TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Cobalt 27 Capital Corp. ("Cobalt 27" or the "Company") (TSXV: KBLT)(OTCQX: CBLLF)(FRA: 27O), is pleased to announce that the Company entered into an amended and upsized revolving term credit facility (the "Amended Credit Facility"), whereby the Company will have access to a US$200 million credit facility which replaces its undrawn US$80 million credit facility announced on May 17, 2018. National Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal and The Bank of Nova Scotia acted as Joint-Lead Arrangers with a syndicate of lenders that now includes The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Société Générale S.A., and Royal Bank of Canada (collectively the "Lenders"). National Bank of Canada is acting as Sole Bookrunner and Administrative Agent.

"Cobalt 27's ability to secure additional borrowing capacity under improved terms reflects confidence in the value of the Company's physical cobalt inventory and its recently acquired battery metals streams and royalties on low cost, long-life mines. This credit facility will fully fund both the first and second tranches of the Ramu Cobalt-Nickel Stream on the producing Ramu Nickel-Cobalt Mine, without the need to access equity capital markets," commented Anthony Milewski, Chairman and CEO. 

The Amended Credit Facility is secured by the Company's physical cobalt inventory as well as the Company's streaming and royalty investments. It has an initial term of three years, which is extendable by mutual consent of the Lenders and Cobalt 27. The initial drawdown under the Amended Credit Facility is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent customary for a financing of this type.
