$20M Bridge Financing Secured
To support immediate progress at the Cangrejos project, CMOC has agreed to inject $20 million in interim financing via unsecured convertible notes. The funding will help maintain momentum as Lumina continues development efforts through the deal’s closing.
Upon completion, Lumina shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange, marking the end of a publicly traded era and the beginning of a new phase under the CMOC umbrella.
