HILLGROVE EXECUTES ADDITIONAL WAIVER

Hillgrove Resources Limited (ASX: HGO) advised at the end of March it was continuing discussions with its financiers regarding a debt restructure to align with projected cash flows in its new life of mine plan. The debt restructure and refinancing documentation work are well advanced and nearing completion. Accordingly, Hillgrove wishes to advise that an additional waiver from existing financiers, Macquarie Bank Limited and Barclays Bank PLC, is now in place.

The Hillgrove Board and management are confident the new financing arrangements will be completed in due course, and upon completion will announce these details to the market.
