ASX RELEASE
MONAX MINING TO RAISE UP TO $1.5M
VIA NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
Monax Mining Ltd (ASX: MOX) ( MOX or Company ) is pleased to announce a pro-rata nonrenounceable rights issue to raise approximately A$1.5 million (before costs)( Rights Issue or Offer ) to further advance its Waddikee Graphite Project and for working capital purposes.
The Company intends to apply the funds raised by the Rights Issue towards:
-
Beneficiation and metallurgy studies of the Wilclo South deposit;
-
Additional graphite resource definition drilling at nearby Francis prospect;
-
Testing of the graphite product;
-
Marketing initiatives of the graphite product;
-
Seeking graphite off-take partners; and
-
General working capital.
On 26 August 2013, Monax announced a maiden JORC Inferred Mineral Resource for the Wilclo South graphite deposit, which forms part of the Company’s 100%-owned Waddikee Graphite Project on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. The Wilclo South deposit comprises a total combined Inferred Resource of 6.4 million tonnes grading 8.8% total graphitic carbon ( TGC ) for 550,000 tonnes of contained graphite using a 5% cut-off. The resource includes a high grade component of 1.75 Mt grading 12.5% TGC using a 10% cut-off.
The recent results from Wilco South confirm the deposit is comparable to other graphite deposits on Eyre Peninsula and the Company is keen to conduct beneficiation and metallurgy studies and testing of the product so it may be able to commence its marketing initiatives.
The Rights Issue is being offered on the basis of one (1) new MOX ordinary share for every three (3) ordinary shares held at an issue price of $0.03 per share ( New Shares ). The Rights Issue price reflects a 15% discount to the most recent 30-day closing volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares.
Shareholders with an address in Australia or New Zealand on the Company’s register on 1 October 2013 will be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue ( Eligible Shareholders ).The New Shares will rank equally with all existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.
The Directors reserve the right to place the remaining shortfall at their discretion within three months after the close of the Offer. Eligible Shareholders’ entitlements pursuant to this Rights Issue are non-renounceable and accordingly, they may:

-
take up their rights in full or in part;
-
do nothing, in which case their rights will lapse; or
-
take up their rights in full and apply for additional New Shares.
Full details of the Rights Issue will be set out in the Prospectus which will be lodged by the Company with ASIC and ASX on 23 September 2013.
Existing option holders will need to exercise their options and be a registered holder of shares at the close of business on 1 October 2013 if they wish to participate in the Rights Issue.
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia or New Zealand, having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the New Shares they would be offered and the substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.
The proposed timetable for the Rights Issue is as follows:
