Placement and Rights Issue to raise $2.3m

Firm commitments received for $1.33 million placement

Fully underwritten rights issue to raise an additional $0.96m

Funds to be used for aggressive exploration at Side Well and Whiteheads

Great Boulder Resources [ASX:GBR] (“Great Boulder” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise a total of $2.3 million via a $1.33 million placement (“Placement”) and fully-underwritten, non-renounceable entitlement offer of one share for every six shares held by eligible shareholders to raise an additional $0.96 million (“Rights Issue”).

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by Viriathus Capital with the Placement and Rights Issue arranged by Cumulus Wealth. There was strong demand for the Placement Shares offered. Commitments were received for all shares offered under the Placement, indicating solid support for the Company’s gold exploration plans at Side Well and Whiteheads.

Funds raised will be used for an aggressive exploration program focused on the Company’s gold projects at Side Well and Whiteheads, including:

  • An initial 2,000m to 3,000m RC program extending known gold hits at the Mulga Bill prospect;

  • An air-core program to be drilled as soon as possible after the RC, infilling the 400m gaps in drill coverage at Mulga Bill;

  • Additional air-core drilling to extend targets at Whiteheads, including the Blue Poles prospect at Arsenal;

  • A large-scale soil sampling program over Mulga Bill, as well as sub-cropping areas along the east side and northern end of the Side Well project; and

  • Follow-up RC and air-core drilling at both Side Well and Whiteheads following results of these initial programs.

Placement

The Placement will raise $1,330,551 (before costs) through the issue of 30,943,043 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (“Shares”) to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.043 per share. This represents a 17% discount to the 15-day VWAP at the close of trading on 5 August 2020.

The Company will issue Shares under the Placement utilising its capacities under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Completion of the issue of Shares under the Placement is expected to occur on or around 20 August 2020.

Full details of the Rights Issue will be contained in the Prospectus. Eligible Shareholders should consider the Prospectus in deciding whether to acquire the Shares under the Rights Issue.

Additional Information

  1. The issue price of Shares under both the Placement and Rights Issue is $0.043 per Share and accordingly Eligible Shareholders will be able to participate in the capital raising at the same price per Share as investors under the Placement.
