Proceeds to fund continued development of the 100% owned
Okvau Gold Project in Cambodia
Renaissance Minerals Limited (ASX: RNS) ("Renaissance" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to raise $1.7 million through an equity placement ("Placement"). The Placement is being made to new and existing institutional and sophisticated shareholders. In addition, a Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") is to be offered to all eligible shareholders on the same terms as the Placement, subject to receiving an ASX waiver in relation to ASX Listing Rule 7.2, to raise up to $0.3 million.
In conjunction with the Placement, OZ Minerals Limited's entire shareholding of 50 million shares was placed to new and existing institutional and sophisticated shareholders.
The funds raised from the Placement will enable the Company to continue exploration and development activities at its 100% owned Okvau Gold Project in Cambodia. These activities will include environmental feasibility studies to progress towards a development decision and an exploration review and target generation within close proximity to the Okvau Deposit.
Renaissance Minerals' Managing Director, Justin Tremain commented:
"The raising was well supported by both new investors and long term supporters of the Company. The support shown by some of the Company's largest shareholders demonstrates a high level of confidence in the Company. Renaissance is now well funded to continue to advance the high grade Okvau Gold Project in Cambodia."
