ASX oversubscribed placing raises A$ 9 million
Application lodged for Admission to ASX
London 25 January 2011
West Australian gold exploration and development company GGG Resources plc (
ASX:GGB; AIM: GGG) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its
fundraising under the prospectus lodged in Australia on 10 January 2011 (the
"Prospectus"). Accordingly the Company has applied for its secondary listing on
the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX").
The offer under the Prospectus ("Offer") is now closed, the Company having
raised A$9 million from institutional and private investors. The Offer was
oversubscribed and will result in the issue of 22,500,000 ordinary shares in
the Company at a price of A$ 0.40 per share (the "Placing Shares"). The Placing
is conditional upon admission to the ASX.
GGG Resources is already listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIM. An
application has been lodged for a listing on the Australian Securities Exchange
(ASX). The ASX ticker for the Company will be GGB. Shareholders will shortly be
advised when admission to the ASX will take place.
The funds raised will be used to further advance GGG's 50% interest in the
exciting Bullabulling Project, a former gold mine in the Coolgardie Goldfield
at which GGG plans to recommence mining operations in 2013, and towards
additional exploration.
The capital raising was managed by leading Western Australian corporate
advisory firm Azure Capital Limited with the shares being placed by Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney.
Upon listing on the ASX the Company will have approximately A$23 million in
cash and an 8.5% interest in its joint venture partner Auzex Resources Ltd.
Auzex Resources Ltd also own 50% of the Bullabulling Project.
The Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's
existing ordinary shares on issue, although trading on ASX will be in the form
of a Chess Depository Interests ("CDIs"). Application will be made to London
Stock Exchange plc for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission"), with Admission expected to occur in conjunction with the listing
of the CDIs on the ASX. Following Admission, the total number of shares in
issue will be 167,923,590.
Peter Ruxton, Chairman of GGG Resources plc, commented:
"We are delighted to have raised A$9 million in new funds for our
rapidly-developing Bullabulling gold project. We wish to extend a warm welcome
to our new shareholders and would like to thank our advisors Azure Capital for
their efforts in relation to the highly successful fundraising."
