RE:Remarks1) yamana is a very different company with better rating.
gcm dropped their interest cost by more than half from the gold note 16% effective interest rate. are you going to refuse 6.875% just because another company with better rating got a lower interest rate?
2) you are looking at it the wrong way. 300 mil is for the updated pea with smaller 300 mil capex using the 4km high grade.
they pay the notes using cash on hand, and by the end of the year they make back that cash from segovia cash flow.
the entire 300 mil debt is still being used for toro 300 mil capex.

ideally a project should finance itself, but there is no law preventing one from using cash on hand for a short time.

2) 300 mil us for gcm ; less the fees .. 7% ? less the g. Notes repurchases mean 260 disponible.; A little bit short for toro . Serafino clearly said toro has to be financed by itself . So don't see how wpm should not be on board .
