Vast Resources plc (LSE:VAST), an AIM-listed mining company, has issued a general update regarding the status of its asset-based debt facility and ongoing refinancing efforts. The company faces a critical deadline concerning its outstanding debt of $5,820,000 owed to A&T Investments Sarl (‘Alpha’). As previously disclosed in its announcement on June 27, 2024, Alpha has notified Vast Resources that it will initiate enforcement procedures against the security provided by a third party if the debt is not repaid in full by September 26, 2024.

The third party, who is also a shareholder of Vast Resources, has confirmed that they do not intend to take any action against the company should Alpha proceed with enforcement actions on the stipulated date. As a result, if Alpha does move forward with enforcement on September 26, it will not have an immediate impact on the company's business operations, assets, or significantly alter its liabilities.

Despite this assurance, Vast Resources acknowledges that it is unlikely to meet the repayment deadline set for September 26. The company continues to engage with the owner of a Swiss investment firm, who previously expressed a commitment to provide the necessary restructuring finance referenced in the company's announcement on April 29, 2024. However, ongoing delays in the implementation of this financing have led Vast Resources to explore alternative options to address its outstanding debts and secure additional short-term working capital.

The board of directors is optimistic that these new arrangements will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company remains focused on ensuring its financial stability and will keep stakeholders informed of any developments. Should the situation change, Vast Resources will issue further announcements to update its shareholders and the market.

In summary, while the company faces challenges related to its debt obligations, it is actively working towards securing the necessary financing to maintain its operations and fulfill its liabilities. The management's commitment to exploring multiple avenues for financial support underscores its determination to navigate this critical period effectively.
