CLG Energy Finance director Jonathan Shepko says, "This facility provides the experienced management team at NiMin the financing necessary to convert its substantial inventory of low-risk, infill proved undeveloped drilling (PUD) locations into productive assets."
NiMin will use proceeds to pay its existing short-term debt and to fund its 2010 and 2011 development capital expenditure program. The facility may be increased up to $75 million.
CLG Energy Finance is a division of Frisco, Texas-based CLG Hedge Fund LLC, an affiliate of private financial institution Beal Bank Nevada. The firm primarily focuses on debt financing in the upstream oil and gas sector.
