Cyprium Metals (CYM) has announced a capital raising, combining a conditional placement and a proposed entitlement offer, to raise $29 million.

The conditional placement includes the issuance of approximately 600 million new shares offered at 4 cents per share. This placement, subject to shareholder approval, is set to raise $24 million.

The initiative gained interest from domestic and offshore institutional investors, demonstrating strong support for Cyprium’s strategic goals.

Pacific Road Capital Management has subscribed for $4.05 million in the placement, resulting in a 9.9 per cent ownership stake in Cyprium.

PRCM will obtain the right to appoint a nominee to the company’s board.

Mining executive Clive Donner will assume the position of Managing Director upon the issuance of placement shares.

Meanwhile, Cyprium has also announced a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to issue approximately 125 million new shares at the same offer price as the placement.

Eligible shareholders will receive one new share for every 10.64 shares held. This entitlement offer is projected to raise up to $5 million.

These combined funds raised will be used for technical studies and funding packages required to advance the company’s Nifty project.

Cyprium aims to restart the Nifty operation as an integrated large-scale open-pit mine.

CYM last traded at 11 cents.
