Australian resource and mineral processing technology company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG ) ("TNG" or “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments for a Share Placement to raise A$12.5 million (before costs).
The Share Placement was strongly supported by a number of new institutional and high net worth investors, as well as by the Company’s German-based major shareholder, Deutsche Balaton and associates.
The introduction of new institutional investors through the Share Placement is consistent with TNG’s objective of increasing the institutional investor presence on its share register ahead of the finalisation and execution of the Company’s equity strategy for project financing. Institutional investors are expected to play a significant role in financing the development of the Company’s flagship Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory.
The proceeds of the Share Placement are intended to be used to fund:
-
consolidation planning for the Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project, including required permitting, engineering and execution planning work streams (refer to ASX announcement of 30 September 2021);
-
project financing work streams and associated costs (including detailed due diligence requirements);
-
progression of TNG’s green energy initiatives including green hydrogen opportunities for Mount Peake and under the joint venture with AGV Energy, and the Company’s vanadium electrolyte production strategy; and
-
general working capital requirements.
The issue price of A$0.09 per share represents a 25% discount to the closing share price of A$0.12 on Thursday, 4 November 2021, being the last day the Company’s shares were traded prior to this announcement, and a 24.4% discount to the 15-day volume weighted average price of A$0.119.
