Indonesia:

Raya Group Funded for Geothermal Projects in Indonesia (Proactive Investors Australia - Press Release)

Raya Group (formerly Panax Geothermal) has signed a heads of agreement with Australian based Space Con Pty Ltd for the development and financing of Raya’s portfolio of advanced geothermal development projects in Indonesia.

Space Con’s agreement with Raya has the backing of large Korean institutional banks who are seeking to provide the necessary debt / project financing aspects for the development of the Indonesian geothermal portfolio.

Raya will maintain a 20% free carry interest in each of the projects and is not required to contribute any additional funding towards exploration or development costs of the projects.

Significantly, it is therefore fully-funded for its share of the development of the projects.

Raya will also receive a cash payment of $US1 million upon the commencement of the development of the first of the three geothermal projects.
