The Company will use the funds primarily to complete the current exploration program at the Company’s Blackwood Gold Project in Victoria where drilling is in progress and is presently targeting historical high-grade zones of the interpreted south-plunging Western Leader Reef. 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 unique commodity mix and strategic direction to simultaneously advance its gold, uranium and sand project interests. 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. The Company’s Yanrey Uranium Project is world class and has the potential to grow, and the Sand is a highly sought-after commodity and the Company’s sand project provides it with exposure to this burgeoning industry.”
