Successful equity issue in place for Keliber
Successful equity issue in place for Keliber
Nordic Mining's associated company Keliber Oy ("Keliber") in Finland has
successfully concluded an equity issue with gross proceeds of
approximately EUR 2.2 million; similar to approximately NOK 18.5
million. The new financing will be used for i.a. exploration drilling
and process optimisation test work. Keliber targets to finalise a pre
-feasibility study for the lithium project around year-end 2014 or early
Nordic Mining is currently focusing its financial resources on the
Engebø rutile project with the purpose to conclude activities related to
the government's request for supplementary information in connection
with the industrial area plan and the application for waste disposal. As
a consequence, Nordic Mining decided not to participate in the share
issue in Keliber. Following from that, Nordic Mining's shareholding in
Keliber has been reduced.
The share issue was mainly subscribed by existing shareholders in
Keliber. After the share issue, Nordic Mining remains the largest
shareholder in Keliber with 25.9%. Finnish Industry Investment Ltd. is
the second largest shareholder with 20.7%.
CEO Ivar S. Fossum comments: "We are satisfied that Keliber has obtained
additional financing for its ongoing project development work. We look
forward to the results from the ongoing drilling campaign and remain
confident that the resource base will be increased. We trust that the
scheduled pre-feasibility study will establish valuable parameters for a
profitable lithium project in Finland."
