Highlights:

  • Funds targeted for completion of community agreements and obtaining drilling permit

Laconia Resources Limited (ASX: LCR) (“ Laconia ” or “ the Company ”) refers to its announcement on 7 June 2013 regarding its re-issued prospectus for an entitlement issue of (1) share (New Share) at an issue price of 1 cent per New Share for every three (3) shares held on the 19 June 2013, together with one (1) free attaching option exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 30 September 2018 for every one (1) New Share subscribed for and issued (New Option) (Entitlement Offer), to raise a maximum of $915,852. The prospectus also provided for the issue of 45,792,649 options (Placement Options) exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 30 September 2018 at an issue price of $0.001 per Placement Option to raise $45,793. Shareholders approved the issue of the Placement Options at a general meeting held on 21 June 2013.

The Company is pleased to confirm the finalisation of the shortfall comprising 59,091,930 New Shares and New Options. The Company previously announced on 9 July 2013, it had received valid applications for 32,493,270 New Shares and New Options raising $324,933. In addition the Company also confirms the issue of 45,792,649 Placement Options.

Funds raised (before costs of the offer) through the shortfall of the Entitlement Offer and the Issue of the Placement Options is $636,712. The Directors of Laconia express their appreciation for the support provided by participants in the capital raising.

The funds raised from the Entitlement Offer and Shortfall will be predominately used for completion of Community Access Agreements and obtaining drilling permit for Rasuhuilca copper-gold-silver Project.

Laconia is also pleased to report continued progress in its permitting process for drilling and prioritisation for drilling recently identified copper targets[1] . Laconia’s increasingly systematic review of historical sample and drill data as well as interpretation of recently acquired ‘state of the art’ satellite alteration data points to a high fully intact high sulphidation copper gold-silver system with strong potential for an underlying mineralised copper porphyry system or associated deposits.

Laconia is also pleased to report continued progress in its permitting process for drilling and prioritisation for drilling recently identified copper targets[2] and will update the market accordingly as this progresses.

Laconia’s priority initial drilling programme has been designed to test these copper targets once all necessary drilling and community approvals have been obtained.

Since the acquisition of the Rasuhuilca Project in July 2012, Laconia has compiled a database that contains greater than 3,000 channel samples from approximately 5km of underground development and adits, and more than 40 diamond drill holes, plus associated survey and assay data. Increasingly, Laconia’s systematic review of data has highlighted the copper potential of the Rasuhuilca Project area in addition to the existing gold-silver epithermal vein systems that are extensively developed at the Rasuhuilca Project.

Laconia has a 100% interest in the Rasuhuilca copper-gold-silver project in Southern Peru and its exploration efforts have become focused on its Latin American assets. The Company remains committed to gaining social licence in its sphere of activity to further explore and develop its flagship Rasuhuilca Project in Peru.
