The Placement was met with strong demand from both new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors. This included subscription commitments totaling A$215,000 from South Harz Board members and their related parties (the issuance of which is subject to shareholder approval).

In addition to the Placement, South Harz will offer all existing eligible shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for up to a maximum of A$30,000 worth of new shares on the same terms as the Placement under a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to raise up to an additional A$0.5 million.

South Harz CEO, Luis da Silva, commented on the successful capital raising:

"I would like to thank existing shareholders who participated in the placement, as well as welcome a number of new, high quality institutional and sophisticated investors to the South Harz register, including new Europeanbased participation. I also look forward to offering all eligible shareholders the opportunity to participate in this capital raising via the imminent launch of a Share Purchase Plan on the same terms as the Placement.”

“The funds raised via the Placement and SPP are expected to facilitate the ongoing advancement of our Ohmgebirge Potash Development, including completion of the PFS currently in progress. Our work to date continues to affirm the world-class nature of Ohmgebirge and its strong potential to leverage existing regional infrastructure and a genuine brownfield development pathway. We look forward to providing further updates as key outcomes are progressively concluded and the PFS advances towards targeted completion later this year.”
