Share Purchase Plan Closed
Strong take-up by shareholders sees $1.75M raised, increasing total capital raising to $9.5M
Orion Minerals Limited (ASX/JSE: ORN) (Orion or the Company) is pleased to advise that its Share Purchase Plan
(SPP) announced on 24 October 2019 closed on Friday 6 December 2019.
Under the SPP, the Company provided each eligible shareholder with the opportunity to subscribe for new ordinary
fully paid shares (Shares) in parcels starting from $2,000 (ZAR20,000), up to a maximum of $30,000 (ZAR300,000) at
an issue price of $0.025 per Share, without incurring brokerage or transaction costs. The issue price of $0.025 per
Share is the same price as the Shares issued under the recently completed $7.7 million placement (refer ASX
release 22 November 2019).
The Company is pleased to advise that the SPP attracted strong support from eligible shareholders, with
applications totalling $1.75 million received. The issue date for Shares subscribed for under the SPP is expected to
be 12 December 2019, with quotation of new Shares and dispatch of holding statements expected to take place
on 13 December 2019.
This outstanding result increases the total amount raised through the recently completed capital raising process
to ~$9.5 million, putting the Company in an excellent position to deliver on its growth strategy at the Prieska
Copper-Zinc Project in South Africa in 2020.
Orion’s Managing Director and CEO Errol Smart, commented:
“This caps off what has been an outstanding year which has seen us achieve numerous milestones including, the
delivery of a substantial Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve, a high-quality Bankable Feasibility Study, substantially
completing our permitting, securing new BEE investors and making excellent progress with post-BFS optimisation
and project funding.
The outstanding success of the SPP clearly demonstrates the continued strong support from our shareholders for
our strategy to transform Orion into a substantial international base metals producer, and I would like to thank
shareholders for their continued support. The proceeds of the SPP will be used to complete optimisation studies
and early stage works for the Prieska Project, as well as to progress our funding strategy with the advantage of a
strengthened balance sheet.
Orion shareholders also have exposure to two world-class geological provinces in the Areachap Belt of the
Northern Cape and in the geologically similar Fraser Range Province in Western Australia, through our joint venture
with Independence Group. In that regard, we have exposure to an ongoing, well-funded exploration program in
close proximity to the recently announced Rockford discovery by Legend Mining.”
Please find attached an Appendix 3B relating to the issue of the SPP Shares.
For and on behalf of the Board.
