TORONTO, Oct. 6, 2016 /CNW/ - (TSXV: GMN) GobiMin Inc. (the "Company" or "GobiMin") announces that it agrees to extend the repayment term from October 6, 2016 to April 6, 2017 with respect to a USD4,000,000 revolving, term loan facility bearing an interest rate of 3.5% per annum (the "Loan") in favor of China Precision Material Limited ("CPML"), a non-arm's length party, under the loan agreement dated April 7, 2016.  All the other terms of the loan agreement remain unchanged. GobiMin may demand repayment of principal and interest anytime with a 3 days' notice.
