20 November 2018
METMINCO Limited Renounceable Rights Issue
Key Points
-
Renounceable 2-for-5 rights issue to Eligible Shareholders of fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.003 each to raise up to $1.25 million (before costs)
-
Shareholders may apply for additional securities as part of the rights issue shortfall

Partially underwritten by Mr Kevin Wilson, an Executive Director of the Company

Funds raised will be used to advance the Company's Quinchia Gold Project in Colombia
Metminco Limited (“Metminco” or the “Company”) (ASX: MNC) is pleased to announce
the lodgement of a prospectus for a pro rata renounceable offer to eligible shareholders for the issue of 2 new Shares ( New Shares ) for every 5 Shares held at the record date ( Entitlement ) on Friday, 30 November 2018 ( Record Date ) at an issue price of $0.003 each to raise approximately $1.25 million before costs ( Rights Issue ).
The funds raised will be applied to the advancement of the Quinchia Gold Project in Colombia as well as corporate costs and working capital.
The Quinchia Gold Project comprises the Company’s:
-
Miraflores deposit - 0.88Moz gold Resource (see Table 1) and is subject to an ongoing Environmental Impact Assessment due for submission in 2019;
-
Dosquebrados deposit - 0.92Moz gold Resource estimated under NI 43-101 (refer ASX announcement dated 7 March 2016);
-
recently drilled Tesorito Prospect -including TS-DH-07 which intersected 253m at 1.01g/t Au from surface (starting at 2.9m) including 64.0m @ 1.67 g/t Au from 144m (refer ASX announcement dated 30 August 2018); and
-
undrilled Chuscal gold target.
All these deposits occur within a 2km radius of the location of a planned gold plant at Miraflores. The Chuscal gold target which, along with Tesorito, is the second significant gold porphyry target within the Quinchia Gold Portfolio, features a large, undrilled gold geochemical anomaly over an area with artisanal mining which has indicated highly encouraging underground channel sample grades (refer ASX announcement dated 16 September 2016).
As previously reported (refer ASX announcement dated 30 October 2018) discussions are well advanced with AngloGold Ashanti to formalise a farm-in/joint venture agreement over the Chuscal gold target, and an announcement is anticipated shortly. On successful completion of the negotiations, it is intended to rapidly undertake additional soil geochemical, channel sampling and geophysics to prepare for drilling at Chuscal.
The Company cautions that the foreign estimates for the project are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A competent person has not yet completed sufficient work to classify the resources as mineral resources in accordance with JORC code. It is uncertain that following evaluation or further work that the foreign estimate will be able to be reported as mineral resources in accordance with JORC Code.
