The second extension to the agreement expired on October 22, 2012 and required an advance of US$20 million to MMB by the Korean Consortium, which amount was previously advanced as per Baja's news releases of October 5 and October 15, 2012.

The recently advanced funds and the extensions will allow construction of the Boleo project to continue until November 20, 2012.
In addition, the Korean Consortium is actively engaging the lenders in a renegotiation of the original project financing in an effort to partially re-activate the loan facilities by November 20, 2012.
