A$4.5 Million Placement to Accelerate Lithium Exploration
Perth, Oct 27, 2022 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Monger Gold Ltd (
ASX:MMG) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to raise A$4.5 million (before costs) from domestic and offshore institutional, sophisticated and professional investors under a two-tranche placement of fully paid ordinary shares ("New Shares") at an issue price of A$0.40 per share ("Placement").
The Placement was strongly supported by new and existing investors from around the globe and reflects significant interest in Monger's portfolio of lithium assets located in the tier-1 mining jurisdictions of Canada and the United States.
Placement proceeds will be used for:
- Exploration field works at the Brisk and Trieste Lithium Projects;
- Potential additional acquisitions;
- Drilling at the Scotty Lithium Project; and
- General working capital.
Monger's CEO, Adam Ritchie, said:
"The strong demand shown from Australian and international investors in this Placement validates our strategy as we continue to acquire and explore highly prospective lithium projects in the tier-1 mining jurisdictions of Canada and the United States.
The introduction of a number of high-quality institutions, together with the support shown by existing long-term loyal shareholders, has ensured that Monger is well-capitalised to maintain momentum across its portfolio of lithium assets.
I look forward to our EGM on Monday 31st October and formalising our transition to Loyal Lithium (ASX:LLI)."
