Black Rock Mining Ltd receives firm commitments for A$10 million at 6.5c per share in a well-supported Placement to new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors.
Funds to be used for final Mahenge preparations ahead of the Final Investment Decision (FID), including loan and contract documentation, detailed design and equipment specification and for general corporate purposes.
Petra Capital Pty Ltd acted as Sole Lead Manager and Sole Bookrunner to the Offer.
Commenting on the equity raise, Black Rock CEO, John de Vries, said:
”We are very pleased with the level of support provided from existing shareholders and welcome several new institutional shareholders to the Black Rock register.
We have several key de-risking milestones due near term and this A$10m placement should provide the Company with sufficient cash reserves to complete loan and contract documentation ahead of FID as well as working towards consummating a deal in the partner process in which we are aiming to sell a stake in the project at a premium as a less dilutive pathway to cashflow.
With all our key approvals now in place for US$153m in debt facilities for Mahenge, we are also expecting to receive confirmation of POSCO’s approvals near term for its equity investment in Black Rock of up to US$40m.”
