Platina Resources Strengthens Working Capital Position With Placement to Palisades Goldcorp

Platina Resources Limited (ASX: PGM) has strengthened its working capital position with commitments received from a non-brokered private placement (“Placement”) to Palisades Goldcorp (19.97 million shares) and another major shareholder (2.39 million shares) raising $894,400 (before costs) at 4.0 cents per share. In addition, 22.36 million options with a strike price of 10 cents expiring 3 years from the date of issue will be granted to the Placement participants subject to shareholder approval, scheduled to occur at a shareholder meeting planned in September 2020. The placement strengthens Plana’s cash position so it can continue delivering its corporate objectives.

Platina Managing Director Corey Nolan said, “Funds raised from the placement will be applied to advancing Platina’s portfolio of assets including the new Challa Gold Project where the tenements were recently granted and Munni Munni Planum Group Metals Project in Western Australia. Platina is also planning to expand its portfolio of gold projects and is reviewing a number of new opportunities in world-class gold districts in Australia. PGM’s portfolio of assets provides investors with a significant exposure to gold and palladium with prices having increased by 37% to USD 1,958 per ounce, and 46% to USD 2,280 per ounce respectively, in the last twelve months.

Platina remains committed to creating value from its other core assets including the Platina Scandium Project in New South Wales and the Skaergaard Project in Greenland. Platina is currently finalising the sale of Skaergaard to Canada’s Major Precious Metals Corp (CSE:SIZE)”

22.36 million ordinary shares will be issued under the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Placement is scheduled to close on or around 15 August 2020. The Company has agreed to pay a 6% selling fee on the Palisades Goldcorp investment and issue 4 million options on the same terms as the Placement opens, detailed above, subject to shareholder approval.
