Ryan Ellson, Chief Financial Officer of Gran Tierra, commented:
'We are very pleased to have successfully closed a new credit facility which enhances our liquidity and underscores the strength and resilience of our business. Securing this facility during a period of market volatility is a testament to the quality of our assets, the consistency of our cash flow generation, and the confidence our partners have in Gran Tierra’s strategy. This facility supports our continued commitment to strengthening our balance sheet, enhancing operational flexibility, and delivering long-term value to all stakeholders.'
