EDMONTON, Nov. 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Altiplano Metals Inc. (TSXV: APN) ("Altiplano" or the "Company") has arranged interim bridge loan financing (the "Loans") from various insiders and other private investors of the Company to raise a minimum of $100,000 and up to a maximum of $500,000.
Under the terms of the financing, the Loans will bear interest at 10% per annum and will be repayable by the Company one year after their date of advance (the "Maturity Date").
