Strong Market Support Underpins $42.5M Placement, Funding Caldeira to Final Investment Decision

(Not for release to US wire services or distribution in the United States)

Highlights

  • Heavily over-subscribed placement was up-sized to $42.5 million

  • Strong support from high-quality existing and new international and domestic institutional investors including key cornerstone commitments from leading North American funds

  • Pricing of $0.14 per New Share represents a 3.3% discount to the 10-day VWAP and reflects significant institutional demand for the Placement

  • Funding to be applied towards advancing the Caldeira Project, environmental licencing, community development, pilot plant development and resource development

  • Upon settlement of the Placement, Meteoric will be well capitalised with a pro-forma cash balance of ~$53.5 million based on the 30 June cash balance.

Meteoric Resources NL ( ASX: MEI ) ( Meteoric or the Company ) is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments to raise $42.5 million (before costs) via a Placement for the issue of approximately 304 million new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.14 per New Share ( Offer Price ).

The Placement coincides with the release of the Pre-Feasibility Study ( PFS )[1] for the 100%-owned Caldeira Rare Earth Iconic Absorption Clay Project ( Caldeira Project ) which included the announcement of Meteoric’s Maiden Ore Reserve of 103Mt @ 4,091ppm TREO within a Resource of 1.5Bt @ 2,359ppm.

Funds from the Placement will support the Company’s forward development strategy which involves accelerating the project towards a Final Investment Decision ( FID ) in 2026.

Commenting on the Placement, Meteoric Managing Director and CEO, Stuart Gale, said:

“This Placement is an excellent outcome for Meteoric and our ambitions for the Caldeira Project. The new funding provides significant capacity to further invest and optimise the Pre-Feasibility Study released this week. This includes the establishment of a pilot plant at Poços de Caldas to produce bulk samples of mixed rare earth carbonate for metallurgical testwork, customer validation and downstream development. Outcomes from these programs will feed into the Caldeira Project development and move us towards a Final Investment Decision in 2026.

We are very appreciative of the support of new and existing shareholders in this capital raising. We view this support and demand as both an endorsement of the Project, the PFS and the unique position which Caldeira will play in supporting developing supply chains in the rare earth sector.

The Caldeira Project stands out as having the scale and both the technical and economic attributes required to support these new supply chains. This funding provides us with the capacity required to complete all work programs and development that will take us to FID.”
