The successful closing of the public offering of subscription receipts is an important milestone for Stornoway, and a precondition for the completion of the overall project financing agreement announced on April 9th. This agreement contemplates financing commitments to fully fund the Renard Diamond Project through construction to the declaration of commercial production, including all contingencies, capital escalation allowances, working capital requirements, and financing costs. We look forward to submitting the balanced package of equity, debt and streaming agreement that we have arranged to our shareholders for their approval at a special meeting to be held in Montreal on June 26, 2014. Principal project construction is expected to commence upon the receipt of shareholder approval and the satisfaction of all remaining transaction conditions, including the completion of definitive documentation.
