With this Placement the Company welcomes several new institutional investors to its share register, providing a strong endorsement for the Company’s growth strategy in both gold and nickel.
The Company will also offer a share purchase plan (“SPP”) to raise up to $4.0 million from eligible shareholders at the same price as the placement. Together the Placement and SPP are expected to raise gross proceeds of up to $12.74 million, placing the Company in a strong position to ramp up exploration and resource development programs.
Proceeds from the Placement enables Rox to increase its ownership of the Youanmi OYG JV from 50% to 70%. As contemplated by the Term Sheet with Venus Metals Corporation Ltd the Company will also move to assume management of the regional JVs once this option is exercised and its interest in the regional JV’s is earned. This collectively will see Rox well-positioned to drive an accelerated exploration strategy across the largest tenement package in the highly prospective Youanmi greenstone belt.
Managing Director, Mr Alex Passmore, commented: “Rox is delighted with the strong institutional support for the Placement. I also look forward to a high level of interest in the SPP. The Company is now very well positioned to increase its interest in the Youanmi OYG JV to 70%, which is progressing towards development, and to aggressively accelerate its regional exploration programs across both its gold and nickel projects.”
