$1.26m Placement to fund exploration and metallurgical testing at Alaska Range

PolarX Limited (ASX: PXX) (the Company ) has received offers to subscribe for approximately 21 million shares at an issue price of 6c per share to raise approximately $1.26 million ( Placement ).

The Placement is being undertaken within the Company’s existing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and completion is expected on or around 14 December 2018.

Proceeds will be used for:

  1. Metallurgical test work programs to evaluate processing options for the Zackly Cu‐Au skarn mineralization. This will include an assessment of the potential to recover a large proportion of the free‐milling native gold through a gravity circuit followed by subsequent processing to recover residual native gold and copper minerals;

  2. A 15‐20 line‐km induced polarization ground geophysical survey over the Zackly SE porphyry target;

  3. Secure key contractors for the 2019 exploration program, which will be designed to test:

    • down‐dip and strike extensions to the thick, high‐grade, near‐surface, sub‐horizontal mineralisation (including 55m @ 2.8g/t Au and 0.6% Cu in hole ZX‐18020) which was discovered 850m east of the current inferred resource)

    • the highly‐promising Mars porphyry Cu‐Au target where high grades of Cu and Au have been identified in rock chip samples and geochemical soil samples directly above an IP anomaly which is spatially related to a magnetic high

    • the large‐scale Zackly SE porphyry target which is 3km to ESE of the high‐grade Zackly skarn

  4. Logistical measures to reduce helicopter support requirements for the 2019 field program, intended to significantly reduce future exploration costs; and

  5. General working capital.

PolarX Managing Director Frazer Tabeart said the support for the Placement from existing holders reflected confidence in the substantial upside at Alaska Range.

“We already have a significant gold‐copper resource and the latest drilling results highlight the potential for a high‐grade surface mining operation,” Dr Tabeart said.

“We also have two outstanding porphyry targets which we will pursue in the coming field season.

“The combination of this immense potential and PolarX’s current market capitalisation of ~$17.9 million offers investors substantial leverage.”

Aetas Global Markets Limited acted as lead‐manager to the Placement.
