Scotgold gets short-term £2mln loan from directors

Delays to the production ramp-up at its Cononish gold mine have negatively impacted the company's cash position

Scotgold Resources Ltd (LON:SGZ) said some of its directors and an unrelated third party have provided it with a short-term loan of £2mln.

The lenders include non-executive chairman Nathaniel le Roux, three non-executive directors and an unrelated third party holding a 3.35% stake in the company.

On April 30, Scotgold said that certain directors of the company were proposing to lend it £2mln in a deal likely to be finalized by the end of May. Recent delays to the production ramp-up at its Cononish gold mine in Scotland have had a negative impact on the company's cash position.
