The first offer comprises US$625 million senior unsecured notes priced at 8% per annum, maturing in 2027. The interest is payable on 1 May and 1 November each year, commencing in November 2022.

The second tranche of US$625 million senior unsecured notes will be priced at 8.5% per annum, expiring in 2030. These will also have the same payable interest dates as above, commencing in November 2022.

Originally, the proposed notes offering was placed at US$1 billion.

Mineral Resources stated that it intends to use the cash proceeds for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

The settlement of the offering of the notes is expected to occur on 2 May 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.
