Earthquakes have the potential to substantially affect mining operations, leading to supply chain disruptions that adversely affect the global economy.
Mountain Province Diamonds (NYSEMKT:MPV) arranged a term loan facility of up to US$370 million to fund the construction cost of the Gahcho Kué diamond mine located in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Deutsche Bank A.G. and Nedbank Limited as the lead arrangers.
The company traded up 7.85% in the past five days to $5.22 a share. The 52 week low and high is $4.46 to $5.58.
