StratMin Global Resources Plc
("StratMin" or the "Company")
Completion of GBP800,000 Placing
StratMin Global Resources Plc (AIM: STGR), the AIM-quoted
graphite production and exploration company, announces that it has
raised gross proceeds of GBP800,000 through a placing of 11,428,570
new ordinary shares of 4 pence each (the "Ordinary Shares") at a
placing price of 7 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Placing Shares")
(the "Placing"). The Placing was conducted by Hume Capital
Securities plc acting as sole broker with certain existing and new
institutional investors (the "Placees").
The Placing follows the signing by the Company of a five year
off-take agreement with one of the world's largest independent
processors and merchants of graphite (as announced on 21 October
2014), as well as positive exploration results identifying further
graphite at its Loharano property (as announced on 23 October
2014).
The net proceeds of the Placing will be used for further
investment at the Company's Loharano processing plant and for
general working capital purposes.
Issue of Placing Warrants
As part of the Placing, the Company has agreed to issue one
warrant for every two Placing Shares subscribed for by Placees,
each exercisable at 10 pence at any time before 4 November 2015
(the "Placing Warrants"). The total number of Placing Warrants
issued under the Placing will therefore be 5,714,283. The total
number of warrants outstanding following the issue of the Placing
Warrants will be 19,569,414.
Further Issue of Ordinary Shares
The Company also announces that it has issued 535,714 new
Ordinary Shares to an external third party in lieu of GBP37,500 of
fees owed to said party (the "Fee Shares").
Admission to Trading and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for
admission of the Placing Shares and the Fee Shares to trading on
AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will take place
and that trading will commence on AIM on or around 4(th) November
2014. Following Admission, the Company will have 112,634,237
Ordinary Shares in issue with each share carrying the right to one
vote.
The Company has no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. The total
number of voting rights in the Company following Admission will
therefore be 112,634,237. This figure may be used by shareholders
in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which
they will determine if they are required to notify their interest
in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the
Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

deemed by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers at the time of the
Company's reverse takeover of Graphmada Equity Pte Ltd in January

(1) Includes the shares issued to Non-Executive Director, David
Premraj, on 31 March 2014
Following completion of the Placing (in which no individual
member of the Concert Party has participated) and the issue of the
Fee Shares, the Concert Party will hold interests in Ordinary
Shares carrying, in aggregate, approximately 46.3 per cent. of the
voting rights of the Company.
Manoli Yannaghas, Managing Director, commented:
"Following the positive news last week of the signing of the
off-take agreement and the identification of further mineralisation
at Loharano, raising GBP800,000 in equity allows the Company to
further invest at the plant in both reliability, product volume and
product quality. This is essential to ensure that the Company is in
the strongest possible position as we resume production and
increase sales."
