Mindoro was pleased to announce on June 8, 2010, that the company has arranged for a potential investment by the IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, as part of a larger $5,200,000 private placement (read the full release here).

The IFC has posted for public viewing a Summary of Proposed Investment (SPI) on its website. To follow is an excerpt from the Development Impact page of the SPI:

IFC's expected development contribution

IFC's expected contribution during the pre-development phase of the mine includes:

Provider of Capital: IFC's investment will provide much needed capital for further exploration and preparation of studies that will take the Company closer to mine development and enhance the Company's prospects for attracting future investors and potential joint venture partners.

Long-term shareholder: IFCs role as a long term, strategic investor provides comfort to the Company and other investors that adequate funding would be available, for a large-scale nickel mine and processing facility. The Company seeks a partner who is willing to play a significant role in the future mobilization of funds.

Environmental and Social Expertise: IFC's involvement will help set benchmarks on environmental and social sustainability practices in the Philippines mining sector. IFC will provide guidance to Mindoro and help build its internal environmental and social management systems and ensure implementation for sustainable development.

The reader is cautioned that mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Further, the potential quantity and grade of the exploration target described above is conceptual in nature. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets delineating additional mineral resources or that these resources, if delineated, will be economic or sufficient to support a commercial mining operation. Until a feasibility study has been completed there is no certainty that the company's projections will be economically viable.
