Eligible shareholders will be able to subscribe for one new share for every nine held as of July 16.

The rights issue has been fully underwritten by Chairman David Baker, Corporate Development Officer Peter Fox and largest shareholder Au Mining.

Upon completion of both the placement and rights issue, Mineral Commodities will have $10.6 million which it will use to continue with planned exploration activities, upgrades and product installation.
