Consolidated nine separate Tangiers convertible notes (about $794,000 aggregate principal, accrued since December 2011) into a single Master Loan and Security Agreement, extended their maturity to November 2015, sweetened Tangiers' conversion terms, and added a $150,000 forbearance fee to the balance -- a distress refinancing that rolled years of accumulated toxic debt into one larger, more expensive obligation.

Restructured the Ruby Mine mortgage again with RDC, replacing the looming $1 million year-end payment with smaller monthly installments stretched to December 2015, and paid RDC in warrants for the accommodation -- another sign the mortgage's terms kept being pushed out rather than paid down.
material agreement
122m shUS$5.6m - 4 Oct
Brought in a new toxic-debt lender, Typenex Co-Investment, with a $280,000 secured convertible note carrying a 10% original issue discount -- North Bay's stable of convertible-note lenders kept expanding as 2013 wore on.
capital raising announcement

Disclosed it had inadvertently sold unregistered securities from October 2011 through April 2013 because its resale prospectus had gone stale under SEC rules, forcing a second 2013 restatement to reclassify affected shares as temporary equity -- a genuine compliance failure layered on top of the year's earlier restatement.
financial restatement
103m shUS$9.5m - 5 June
Signed a prepaid-gold forward-sale agreement, receiving a $150,000 cash advance against future delivery of up to 2,120 ounces of specimen gold from the Ruby Mine at a 10% discount to spot -- an unusual, non-dilutive financing tool alongside the convertible notes, but one that pledged future mine output.
material agreement
101m shUS$4.9m - 28 Mar
Extended the Ruby Mine mortgage with RDC to December 2015, but increased the balance by $160,000 and set a $1 million principal payment due by year-end -- the mortgage kept growing larger and more urgent even as its maturity was pushed out.
material agreement
107m shUS$7.4m - 11 Feb
Restated its Q3 2012 financials after an SEC comment-letter review found it had improperly capitalized Ruby Mine tunnel and access-road costs that should have been expensed -- the first of two accounting-compliance failures in 2013.
financial restatement
97.5m shUS$3.1m - 5 Feb
Doubled its Tangiers equity line commitment from $5 million to $10 million and extended its term from three to five years -- expanding, not shrinking, its reliance on dilutive financing even as the balance sheet was under strain.

Extended the Ruby Mine mortgage with RDC to June 2013 after making a $50,000 principal paydown, leaving $1,774,822 still owed -- the size of the Ruby mortgage was becoming a real overhang on the balance sheet.
material agreement
101m shUS$6.1m - 27 Nov
Got Tangiers to waive default/conversion rights on several notes and extend maturities by 24 months -- a forbearance arrangement suggesting North Bay could not keep pace with its own convertible-note obligations.

Completed the Ruby Mine acquisition: Ruby Gold, Inc. became a wholly-owned North Bay subsidiary after paying RDC an aggregate $510,000 -- North Bay's flagship asset for the rest of its public life, and the mortgage debt underlying it would become a recurring source of financial strain.
