Commenting on the capital raising, Renascor’s Managing Director David Christensen stated:
“We are delighted to have received firm commitments to raise $1.1 million which will enable the company to accelerate the development of the Siviour graphite deposit. Since acquiring the rights to the Arno Graphite Project in December 2015, Renascor has quickly established the project’s credentials by defining a high quality coarse flake graphite deposit that is Australia’s largest graphite Mineral Resource. The funds raised here are intended to continue the rapid development of Siviour by expanding the resource into additional high-grade graphite zones and by commencing comprehensive mineral processing test work. We expect the work conducted over the next three to four months will provide the basis for defining the initial economic parameters for eventual production from the Siviour deposit.”
