Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM – “Talisman”) is pleased to advise that it
has successfully raised a total of approximately $16.7 million (before costs)
through a strongly supported share placement underpinned by a number of
existing and new institutional and cornerstone investors (Placement).
The Company has received firm commitments and undertakings for the
Placement, comprising approximately 37.14 million shares at 45 cents, which
is being undertaken to strategic, professional and sophisticated investors as
defined under Section 708 of the Corporations Act.
The Placement was undertaken with Bell Potter Securities Limited, Euroz
Securities Limited and Petra Capital Pty Ltd as Joint Lead Managers with the
proceeds raised being under the Company’s 15% placement capacity in
accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity
in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Placement shares will be listed and will rank pari passu with the
Company’s existing ordinary shares.
Following allotment of the shares, Talisman will have approximately
185.7 million ordinary shares on issue and available cash reserves of
approximately $22.9 million. Settlement is scheduled to occur on or before
16 March 2016, with placement, allotment and quotation on the ASX
anticipated within one (1) business day of settlement.
Talisman’s Managing Director, Gary Lethridge, said the Company was very pleased with the
outstanding level of investor support for the capital raising, which had resulted in the share
placement closing heavily oversubscribed.
“This is a tremendous result in what remains a challenging and volatile global equity market, and
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who participated, including our major
shareholder Kerry Harmanis – who continues to demonstrate outstanding ongoing support of
Talisman,” he said.
“The funds raised will boost our cash reserves to approximately $23 million, ensuring that
Talisman is in a position to continue to contribute to joint venture funding at our Springfield
copper-gold joint venture with Sandfire Resources, including the high-grade Monty discovery,
which is now closing in rapidly on a maiden Mineral Resource estimate.
“The strong investor support for this raising is testament to the quality of the Monty discovery –
which is without doubt one of the most significant new high-grade copper discoveries in Australia
– and the outstanding prospectivity of the broader Springfield JV Project for additional high-value
VMS discoveries,” Mr Lethridge said.
“In addition to continuing to fund our share of the Springfield Joint Venture, the proceeds will
also be used to progress our counter cyclical growth strategy at the Sinclair nickel project in WA
– which remains an attractive option on a future recovery in the nickel price – and for general
working capital purposes.”
