Calidus Resources Update
Keras Resources plc, the AIM listed mineral resource company,
notes the announcement published today by Calidus Resources Limited
(ASX:CAI) ('Calidus'), in which it currently holds a c.38.9%
interest, regarding Calidus' recently completed AUD$9 million
placement involving institutional shareholders. Keras did not
participate in the placement. Following the allotment and
commencement of trading of the new shares in Calidus on or around
20 August 2019, Keras will hold a c.33.8% interest in Calidus.
Highlights
-- Calidus successfully completes a AUD$9M placement to institutional investors
-- Strong support from new and existing institutional investors
for the continued advancement of Calidus' flagship Warrawoona Gold
Project
-- Existing Calidus shareholder Alkane Resources (ASX: ALK)
subscribed for shares worth AUD$1.2M, representing a strong
endorsement of Calidus' strategy
-- Calidus now fully funded to undertake an extensive resource
and exploration drilling campaign, complete a definitive
feasibility study ('DFS') and purchase long lead items for project
development
Russel Lamming, CEO of Keras Resources, commented, "This
placement is a key milestone achieved for Calidus in the
development of the Warrawoona Gold Project, as it means that it is
now fully funded to complete the work required to deliver a robust
DFS. Following the commencement of trading in the issued shares in
this placement, Keras will have clear visibility of the capital
structure in which to execute its proposed distribution of shares
to its own shareholders. We are looking to complete this
distribution this year and believe that it will be an exciting time
for our shareholders to gain direct exposure to Calidus."
