CZR Resources Limited (ASX:CZR) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments for a two tranche placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately $7 million at 1.15 cents a share ( Placement ).

The Placement has been supported by the Company's major shareholder, the Creasy Group, which will participate in tranche 2 of the Placement and subscribe for $3 million of shares, subject to shareholder approval.

In addition to the Placement, the Company will offer eligible existing shareholders the right to participate in a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to raise up to a further $500,000 at the same price as the Placement.

The Placement of 608,695,700 fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at 1.15 cents per Share to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors received strong interest during the Company's bookbuild. The Placement will be undertaken in two tranches:

  • the first tranche of the Placement, comprising 347,826,100 Shares ($4,000,000) ( Tranche 1 ), will be issued using the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1; and

  • the second tranche of the Placement, comprising 260,869,600 Shares ($3,000,000) ( Tranche 2 ), is for the issue of Shares to the Creasy Group which is subject to shareholder approval which is expected to be obtained at a general meeting to be held on or about 3 August 2021.

CZR Managing Director Dr Rob Ramsay said: “The overwhelming response we received to this raising reflects the strong outlook for our projects, particularly the Robe Mesa iron ore project.

“The proceeds mean CZR is fully-funded for its 2021 program and will ensure we can advance the feasibility studies and approvals required to move Robe Mesa forward as quickly as possible, creating significant value for shareholders in the process,” Dr Ramsay said.

Bell Potter Securities acted as lead manager to the Placement. The Placement is not underwritten.
