PALISADES ANNOUNCES LOAN FACILITY WITH BANK OF MONTREAL AND CONVERSION OF NOTE INTO COMMON SHARES

Palisades Goldcorp Secures C$40M BMO Facility, Eliminating Near-Term Debt Risk While Insider Ownership Consolidates

Executive Summary
  • On April 27, 2026, Palisades Goldcorp Ltd. announced a new loan facility with the Bank of Montreal (BMO) providing up to C$40.0 million in borrowing capacity.
  • The facility is secured by a pledge of New Found Gold Corp. (NFG) shares, subject to loan-to-value thresholds and margin call provisions.
  • A secured convertible note totaling C$4,161,600 held by Tungsten III LLC (controlled by Michael Parker) was converted into 3,356,129 common shares at $1.24 per share.
  • Following this conversion, the company's only remaining debt obligation is under the BMO Loan Facility; previous convertible notes are extinguished.
  • Michael Parker's ownership increased to approximately 24.74% of issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis post-conversion.
  • The BMO facility has a term of up to three years with an interest rate of Term CORRA plus 6.00% (reducible to 5.25% if milestones are met).
  • An accordion feature allows for an additional C$10 million commitment subject to lender approval.
Material Impact
  • Liquidity Improvement: The C$40M facility significantly extends the company's runway without immediate equity dilution, which is critical for a junior explorer holding significant assets in New Found Gold Corp. (NFG).
  • Debt Restructuring: Converting the note removes a fixed debt obligation and interest burden, improving the balance sheet health. However, it increases share count slightly (~3.35M shares), though offset by the removal of debt risk.
  • Insider Confidence: Michael Parker increasing his stake to ~24.74% signals strong management conviction in the company's valuation and future prospects.
  • Collateral Risk: The facility is secured by NFG shares. This creates a dependency on NFG's stock performance; a significant drop in NFG could trigger margin calls or restrict access to capital.
  • Cost of Capital: The interest rate (CORRA + 6%) is relatively high for a junior miner, implying the lender views the risk as elevated despite the collateral.
  • Strategic Alignment: This financing validates the value of Palisades' NFG holdings and supports the Nevada exploration strategy (Made in America Gold Corp.) without forcing a dilutive equity raise at current market levels.
