ASX/Media Release

Placement Raises $2.7 million

Resources & Energy Group Limited ( ASX: REZ ) is pleased to announce it has completed a placement of 68 million ordinary shares to raise $2.7 million. The placement was arranged with the assistance of Mr Omar Taheri, principal of Spark Plus, and REZ’s Chairman Mr Gavin Rezos, via Viaticus Capital. The funds were raised from sophisticated and professional investors, including Magnolia Capital who were the cornerstone of the raising.

The placement follows an investor presentation by REZ via a virtual roadshow arranged by Spark Plus to potential investors in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. The presentation discussed the considerable progress that REZ has announced to ASX during the 2021 calendar year, including:

  • commencement of gold production at the Menzies mine site via our joint venture with BMGS at the Granny Venn tenements;

  • exploration and assessment of the gold resources at the Granny Venn mine; and

  • recently identified reports that detailed sulphide ore deposits (VMS) on our tenements that were prepared BHP and CRA while they had interests in the region. These reports have been corroborated by multi-element assay analysis undertaken by REZ on our Springfield tenements (part of the Menzies region)[1] . The analysis has provided indications of green metals including Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Copper, Molybdenum, Zinc, Platinum and Palladium.

The decision to undertake a placement at this time was made considering several factors. While we anticipate cash flow from our Menzies joint venture during the second quarter of this financial year, the Board of REZ decided it was appropriate to seek additional funds at this time. The funds will facilitate the continuance of exploration work of the Springfield tenements and other areas of the Menzies region. Planned activities include:

  • BMGS will continue mining at Granny Venn. To date BMGS have reported recovery of 33,000 tonnes of ore, which has been sent to be processed at the nearby Lakewood Mill. All gold dore recovered has been delivered to the Perth Mint. Our initial campaign is targeting the recovery and processing of 120,000 tonnes or ore. If the current favourable results continue, we will consider extending the program;

  • continuation of our gold exploration program at Gigante Grande;

  • we will also allocate a budget to Springfield which needs geophysical survey work to unlock the potential within the VMS deposits; and

  • finally, at Mount Mackenzie in Queensland we have employed a mine engineer to run the administrative process to prepare the site for mining to commence

We would like to thank our long-term shareholders for their continuing support and welcome our new strategic shareholders and capital partners. We look forward to unlocking the value in our two unique and prospective projects.

Authorised for release by the Board.
