Remaining funds will be applied for general working capital purposes.
Commenting on the success of the Placement, Cauldron Executive Chairman stated:
Cauldron is delighted with the strong response to the Placement and strong support for the Company’s strategic direction to simultaneously advance its uranium, gold and sand project interests. The Company’s Yanrey Uranium Project is world class and has the potential to grow, and the Company’s Blackwood Gold Project in Victoria is located in Victoria’s ‘golden triangle’, a province that has clusters of high-grade gold mines; including Fosterville, Bendigo and Ballarat amongst many others. Victoria has produced an incredible 70 million ounces of gold to date, comprising 30% of all gold mined in Australia, and the Blackwood Gold Project is nestled in a highly prospective region with historic high-grade production. Sand is a highly sought-after commodity and the Company’s sand project provides it with exposure to this burgeoning industry.”
