Chinese-owned mining company, MMG Limited (ASX:MMG), has entered an amended loan facility agreement in relation to the Dugal River Project in Queensland.

MMG says that, yesterday, it entered an amended agreement with the China Development Bank and the Bank of China’s Sydney branch – for a term debt facility of up to US$550 million.

However, 3 years ago, the original facility agreement from both Banks was for US$1 billion.

MMG also expects the production of its first zinc concentrate in the first half of 2018, and the remaining expenditure to complete the Project will be around US$ 600 million.

MMG reported a net loss of $1.44 billion at 31 December 2015.
