Equity Issue Update
Panthera Resources plc (AIM: PAT), the gold exploration and development company with assets in India and West Africa, advises that it has issued 3,464,000 new ordinary shares ("Shares").
On 29 October and 11 November 2021, the Company announced that it had arranged an equity capital raising of 10,000,000 shares at £0.10 for proceeds of £1,000,000 (the "Placing). Pursuant to the Placing, the Company has issued the final tranche for £346,400 in proceeds.
Furthermore, the Company advises that it has issued 132,000 options exercisable at £0.10 on or before 24 November 2023 under broking arrangements for the Placing.
The proceeds for the placing will be applied to the MMI acquisition and an expanded drilling programme at Bassala planned to commence on or about the end of November 2021.
