Manganese resource company Element 25 (E25) has requested two consecutive trading halts be implemented, as it gears up to announce another capital raise.
Shares in the manganese producer will remain in tied up in back-to-back trading halts until Tuesday, October 13.
Shareholders will have to wait until then to find out exactly how much the company is planning to raise — unless it announces the details early.
If all goes ahead, this will be the second capital raise undertaken by Element 25 in the last three months.
The company successfully tapped shareholders for an additional $3.2 million in cash via a share purchase plan in July.
At the time, Element 25 said the additional funds would be used to advance work at its Butcherbird Manganese Project.
More recently, the company has also been paid $1 million in shares and cash as part of its sale with fellow ASX-lister Rare-X (REE).
Rare-X agreed to buy Element’s Cummins Range Rare Earth deposit for around $3 million — with $2 million in consideration now handed over.
Before today’s trading halts came into effect, shares in E25 were trading for 85 cents each on October 25.
