to act as the MLA for the Company's Brazil and Quebec projects. As a result of this competitive process,

based on ECA Project Finance Experience, execution capabilities and ultimately the financial terms for

the Project Financing. TD has extensive experience in ECA financing, a longstanding relationship with

UKEF, and presented competitive and compelling terms for the project financing.

The UKEF-backed facility is expected to be for up to US$598 million on a non -recourse project financing

basis for a total tenor of 11 years. The funding will be to cover 70% of the expected project capital

expenditures for the Mont Sorcier project.”
