Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (“Peel” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a capital raising to raise up to $32.2 million (before costs) (“Capital Raising”) to fund drilling and studies to reach a development decision for its copper-focused South Cobar Project. The Capital Raising comprises a placement as well as an entitlement offer to eligible shareholders, as follows:
-
Placement: Peel has received firm commitments from institutional, sophisticated and professional investors to raise $18.55 million (before costs) through the issue of 70,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“New Shares”) at an issue price of $0.265 per Share (“Placement”); and
-
Entitlement Offer: Peel will also undertake a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of one New Share for every eight shares held by eligible shareholders on the record date at an issue price of $0.265 per Share (“Entitlement Offer”).
Net proceeds from the Capital Raising will be used to fund the completion of resource drilling and estimation at Wirlong, Mallee Bull and Southern Nights to primarily indicated classification; the completion of scoping and prefeasibility studies on the copper-focused South Cobar Project; completion of an Environmental Impact Study for the project; the costs of the capital raising; and for ongoing working capital.
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, Euroz Hartleys Limited and Acova Capital Pty Ltd acted as Joint Lead Managers to the Placement.
Peel Mining’s Managing Director Rob Tyson commented:
“The demand we have received for the placement from existing and new institutional and professional investors has been overwhelming, strongly endorsing our plans to become Cobar’s next copper development company. The funds from the placement and the entitlement offer will be applied to achieving a maiden resource at Wirlong and higher confidence resources at Mallee Bull and Southern Nights, which in aggregate, will form the basis for development studies and investment decision making. The consolidation of our Cobar assets last year appears particularly fortuitous given the subsequent strong rally in copper pricing - we are now looking to capitalise on our position as one of few Australian high-grade copper development companies by pursuing an expeditious development decision.”

About the South Cobar Project Hub & Spoke Strategy
Peel’s Cobar assets – now referred to as the South Cobar Project (SCP) – include 100% ownership of the Wagga Tank, Southern Nights, Mallee Bull, May Day and Wirlong deposits. The Company is now focused on a Hub and Spoke development strategy for the project, which is centered on establishing critical mass via high quality mineral resource definition at each of Peel’s deposits to support a new substantial centrally located processing plant.
Having established predominately indicated resources at Wagga Tank-Southern Nights, the Company is currently finalising an indicated resource for May Day and has commenced drilling out the Wirlong Copper Deposit to provide for a maiden resource estimate. Planning for the indicated resource drill out of Mallee Bull has been completed with drilling set to commence in the coming months.

Peel has engaged GR Engineering Services (GRES) to complete a conceptual polymetallic mill design as part of the “Hub and Spoke” model, with the mill envisaged to be centrally located amongst Peel’s projects. GRES completed a preliminary process plant technical report for the South Cobar Project that considers crushing, grinding, gravity, flotation and cyanidation process stages for the recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc relevant to the various mineralisation styles within Peel’s deposits. The detailed report will form the basis for future preliminary studies.
