TSX- and JSE-listed Eastern Platinum (Eastplats) has secured a new credit facility of up to C$2-million with investment holding company Ka An Development Co and intends to use the proceeds for working capital to support the ramp-up of underground production at its Crocodile River mine (CRM) platinum group metals (PGM) operation, in South Africa's North West province.

Eastplats intends to ramp up run-of-mine ore at CRM's Zandfontein underground section to 70 000 t a month by the end of this year.

Ka An previously extended two other credit facilities to Eastplats. The three credit facilities are valued at about C$4-million.
