ASX MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
Completion of $1.8 Million Capital Raising
Strike Resources Limited (ASX:SRK) (Strike) is pleased to announce the completion of a $1.8 million capital raising via the issue of 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.045 each.
The issue was completed within the Company's 15% placement capacity (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1) and the additional 10% placement facility approved by shareholders at the Company's last Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2019 (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A).
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as Lead Manager to the placement to professional and sophisticated investors. The share offer was substantially oversubscribed and required a scale back in applications to $1.8 million. The demand demonstrates the strong interest in Strike's Paulsens East Iron Project (Paulsens East) as a near term development opportunity in the iron ore sector.
The funds raised will be used to advance the development of Paulsens East including bulk sampling for further metallurgical testing, progression of off-take discussions, finalisation of native title and mining licence applications and for general working capital purposes.
Strike Managing Director, William Johnson:
"This capital raising allows Strike to continue to fast-track the development of Paulsens East, capitalising on the current strong iron ore price which is driven predominantly by forecast demand growth out of China and simultaneous supply constraints from Brazil.
"Strike's Paulsens East Project offers investors exceptional upside exposure to the strengthening iron ore market. The results of our recently completed Scoping Study demonstrated that Paulsens East is a very attractive project, requiring a relatively low capital investment of only $8.2 Million yet with the potential for a rapid payback of this capital within only three months and the potential for $150 Million in free cashflow over the initial four year life of mine.1
Strike is targeting first production before the end of this year, and in this regard is actively advancing the project including completion of the project feasibility study, finalising negotiations with Traditional Owners, potential contractors, suppliers and off-take partners and obtaining the necessary permits and approvals in order to meet this target."
