"The Rights Issue comes at a good time for Terramin shareholders to be able to support the development of Terramin's high grade underground gold mine at Bird-in-Hand. The Mining Lease Application (MLA) for the project was lodged in June 2019, marking a major milestone in the approvals process. The gold price has consistently broken records in AUD terms, reaching highs of A$2300 per ounce. The opportunity exists for shareholders to support this company-making project as it approaches construction."
Net proceeds of the rights issue will be used as follows:
- Principal repayment of the Company's short term debt facilities with Asipac
- General working capital requirements, including holding costs of WMZ in Algeria
- Final approval phase of the Company's Bird in Hand Project and further exploration and development of Terramin tenements.
