As discussed in the chapter, Muscocho Explorations Ltd., Flanagan McAdam Resources, and McNellen Resources Inc. signed an agreement in January 1996 with their principal secured creditor, Canadian Imperial Bank, to restructure the CA$8.95 million secured debt the three companies owed the bank. Under the agreement, Canadian Imperial received proceeds from the sale of the Magnacon Mill as well as a $500,000 payment for the Magino Mill. The bank agreed to convert its remaining debt to 10 percent of the equity in a new company created by combining Muscocho, Flanagan, and McNellen.
