VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TNR Gold Corp. ("TNR" or the "Company") (TNR: TSX-V) has arranged to advance International Lithium Corp.("ILC") a short term unsecured five month bridge loan of $150,000. TNR Gold Corp., a significant shareholder of ILC, has agreed to lend the Company $150,000 at an interest rate of 20% per annum.
The loan is subject to regulatory approval.
Over the past twenty-one years TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high quality exploration projects around the globe. With the Company's expertise, resources and industry network, it is well positioned to aggressively identify, source, explore, partner and continue to expand its project portfolio.
TNR's recently listed subsidiary, International Lithium Corp. (TSX:ILC.V), demonstrated the successful application of TNR's business model in which TNR shareholders benefited from a unit distribution upon spin-out of TNR's lithium and rare metals projects. TNR remains a large shareholder in ILC at 25.5% of outstanding shares.
At its core, TNR provides significant exposure to gold and copper through its holdings in Alaska and Argentina; and teamed with the recent acquisitions of rare-earth elements and iron ore projects in Canada confirm TNR's commitment to continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.
On behalf of the board,
Gary Schellenberg
President
