New Frontier Minerals Ltd (LSE and ASX: NFM) is pleased to advise that it has received firm commitments to subscribe for A$2,250,000 (before costs) through a placement of 107,142,857 shares (‘New Share‘) to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.021 per share (‘Placement‘). Participants in the Placement will receive one (1) free attaching option for every two (2) New Shares allocated in the Placement, with an exercise price of $0.04 per option and a 2-year expiry from the date of issue (‘Attaching Options‘).
Highlights:
New Frontier successfully completes a $2.25m placement at $0.021 per share, with strong support from new and existing sophisticated and institutional investors
The funds will be utilised to expedite advancing the Harts Range Project post-entering a binding commercial framework with Metallium Ltd (ASX: MTM)1, which aims to:
Create a novel processing pathway for Harts Range ore, targeting Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) supply to US magnet and defence customers
The key catalyst was using MTM’s proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology on Harts Range raw ore (25kg bulk sample), which delivered exceptional beneficiation results, including1:
~20x upgrade in total REO from 1.7% → 35 % (TREO) in a single step flash; and
~53x enrichment in dysprosium (Dy2O3) to 10.03% and 21x in terbium (Tb4O7) to 0.64% – with complete removal of detectable Fe, Si and Th from raw, un-beneficiated (no flotation, acid leaching or hydrometallurgical pre-conditioning) ore
Drilling results are expected over the coming weeks as a ~2,500m RC drilling campaign (up to 46 holes), commences at Harts Range, targeting depth extensions of HREE mineralisation, particularly dysprosium and terbium
Funds will also be allocated to progress the mining lease application2 at the NW Queensland Copper Project including ongoing work with Austral Resources Ltd (ASX: AR1)
Gerrard Hall, Chairman, commented:
‘Receiving the exceptional beneficiation results for dysprosium and terbium from Harts Range raw ore then executing a binding commercial framework with Metallium to create a potential pathway to supply US magnet and defence customers has built up tremendous forward momentum for New Frontier ahead of our maiden drilling campaign getting underway. As such, we are delighted with the overwhelming support from new and existing investors for this capital raise.
The funds will enable the Company to expedite advancing the Harts Range Project and build upon the emerging relationship with Metallium, while concurrently progressing work on the Big One mining license application at the NW Queensland Copper Project. This is an exciting time for New Frontier. With clear development routes for both the Harts Range and NW Queensland Projects, the Board believes the Company is well positioned to deliver significant value for shareholders.’
