  • Oversubscribed institutional placement raises ~A$8.5 million

  • Placement strengthens Talga’s register with the introduction of new institutional investors

  • Proceeds enable accelerated growth of Talga’s global scale graphite-graphene material and technologies business, together with expedited exploration of its Swedish cobalt-copper projects

Australian advanced materials technology company, Talga Resources Ltd (“Talga” or “the Company”) (ASX: TLG), is pleased to announce a funding initiative to raise gross proceeds of approximately $8.5 million (“Placement”). Binding commitments have been received for the Placement which is due to settle on Tuesday 3rd July 2018.

The Placement will see the issue of ~13.1 million new ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.65 per share and will be made pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The oversubscribed Placement was undertaken following in-bound interest from several new, high-quality institutional investors, in turn strengthening the Company’s share register. The Placement pricing reflects a ~5.8% discount to Talga’s last traded share price being $0.69 and the Company expects to have a 30 June 2018 cash balance of approximately $18.5m.

The Company plans to apply the Placement proceeds towards further business growth and development including:

  • Li-ion battery graphite and graphene product development, including scale up of battery anode commercial samples towards product marketing/offtake agreements

  • Graphite resource to reserve conversion and advanced feasibility studies

  • Cobalt project development including drilling and establishment of maiden JORC resources, exploration, metallurgy and preparation for potential cobalt IPO

  • General working capital and business development.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Ltd acted as the Sole Lead Manager to the Placement.

Talga Managing Director, Mr Mark Thompson :

“We welcome our new institutional shareholders to the Talga register in what we see as a maturing vote of confidence by equity markets in the long-term upside for Talga’s global scale graphitegraphene material and technologies business.”
