Red Rock Resources commits to RSL rights issue
Red Rock Resources (LON:RRR) is set to increase its stake in 24.57 per cent owned associate firm Resource Star Limited (ASX:RSL) at a 'historically low' price.
The Australia-based firm is carrying out a rights issue to raise gross proceeds of around A$1.14 million.
RSL is offering existing shareholders one new share at a price of 2 Australian cents.
Red Rock said it will participate fully and in addition underwrite up to A$500,000 of the rights issue for a fee of 2.5 per cent of any underwriting called upon.
The rights issue will close, unless extended, on March 6 this year.
RSL is mainly focused on uranium and specialty metals exploration assets in Malawi, the Northern Territory in Australia, and Western Australia.
As announced at the end of last month, Red Rock has agreed to dispose of its interest in Cue Resources, which has uranium interests in Paraguay, to US-based Uranium Energy Corp.
As part of the rationalisation of its uranium investment interests, where negative sentiment towards the uranium sector was inhibiting the actions of both Cue and RSL, Red Rock expects to re-invest a proportion of the proceeds of the disposal of Cue into RSL, it said today.
"This will create a stronger company able to explore its portfolio of assets and potentially to look at other opportunities within the mining sector. In addition, the refinancing of RSL may itself improve sentiment towards the company and in potentially increasing its shareholding in RSL at a historically low price Red Rock expects to make a profit," it said.
