13 April 2022
KGL Resources Ltd (KGL) is pleased to announce a proposed 1 for 6 non-renounceable entitlement offer of fully paid ordinary shares in KGL (New Shares) to raise up to $24.2 million.
The Offer is not underwritten and is subject to a minimum raise condition of $9.9 million however two of KGL’s major shareholders, KMP Investments and Mr Denis Wood have advised KGL of their intention to take up their full entitlement, which would provide funding of $8.1 million. Proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will advance the project as we work through the Front End Engineering design (FEED) and the final stages of the Feasibility Study. It will also add to working capital, to strengthen the balance sheet as the company moves toward a final investment decision in respect of the development of the Jervois Copper Project.
KGL’s Executive MD, Mr Simon Finnis, said,
“The Feasibility Study (FS) is nearing completion, and while it has taken longer than initially expected it has allowed us to use an updated and improved Resource as the basis of the mine plan and also incorporate into our plant design the requirements of the Glencore agreement. It is considered likely that this will improve the feasibility outcomes.
Now the Feasibility is in its final stages we need to maintain momentum on the project by completing this raise. If we achieve a good take up on this issue, we will be in a strong position to place orders for longlead items, commence early site works and de-risk the construction by locking in prices and timing of key equipment, based on the outcomes of the Feasibility Study.
We think it is appropriate at this time to give the first opportunity to our ever-supportive shareholder base. Hence we offer our shareholders the chance to participate in the anticipated upside that completion of the FS and development of the project will deliver.”
