Lion to support One Asia Rights Issue
Today Lion has agreed to partly underwrite an upcoming rights issue for its investee One Asia Resources Limited (One Asia) for $7.5 million. One Asia is an unlisted exploration company focused on the exploration for gold resources and development of gold mines in Sulawesi, Indonesia. One Asia’s rights issue is seeking to raise approximately $21 million at $0.65/share. Lion and other underwriters have committed to underwrite $15.5 million of this rights issue.
For the purposes of Lion’s Net Tangible Asset (NTA) backing as at 31 July 2013 One Asia was valued at $0.75/share. Lion believes this valuation continues to be appropriate, reflecting that the rights issue pricing represents a small discount to this valuation as would normally be the case for a listed company, and noting that the rights issue is largely an internal raising from existing shareholders. In addition, One Asia is having outstanding exploration success at the Pani project where an initial JORC Resource of 1.88 Moz was announced on 22 May 2013.
Robin Widdup from the Lion team has agreed to become a non-executive director of One Asia.
