Sirius Minerals to launch US$500 million bond issue to fund polyhalite fertilizer mine

The Notes will be issued by York Potash Intermediate Holdings, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

The proceeds of the offering will be used, together with proceeds from the other elements of the Stage 2 Financing, to fund the construction and development of a polyhalite mine, located in North Yorkshire in the UK in line with Project milestones to the point at which the Project generates positive operating cash flows.
