Gold and copper explorer Eagle Mountain Mining (EM2) will soon announce a new capital raise after entering a trading halt.

The company requested the ASX place its securities in a halt today, with the trading halt to be lifted once an announcement is made, or by July 21.

At this stage, it’s not known how the equity will be raised, or how much the exploration company is aiming to raise.

This is the second time this year Eagle Mountain has undertaken a capital raise.

More recently, the company defined another exploration target at its Oracle Ridge mine.

Located in Arizona, in the U.S., the underground copper, gold and silver project is 80 per cent owned by Eagle Mountain.

The project includes a resource of 11.7 million tonnes at 1.57 per cent copper, 17.47 grammes per tonne of silver, and 0.18 grammes per tonne of gold, at a one per cent copper cutoff.

Drill targets and a drilling program for the project are expected to be developed by the end of this year.

Before today’s trading halt, shares in Eagle Mountain Mining last traded for 14 cents per share on July 16.
