Regency Mines raises £401,100 to fund exploration work
Regency Mines (LON:RGM) has raised £401,100 through a placing to fund exploration work on its projects in Papua New Guinea and Australia.
The proceeds will also be used for general working capital, the company said in a stock exchange statement today.
The firm has placed 19.1 million shares at 2.1 pence per share, it said.
Shares in the company closed 11.52 per cent up yesterday, at 2.57 pence after it revealed further positive results from recent drilling at its Mambare nickel laterite project in Papua New Guinea.
Highlights of the work included one hole, which hit 35.6 metres at 0.99 per cent nickel and 0.09 per cent cobalt from 1.30 metres in depth.
This was the first result to come from Area 3 - infill drilling in the North Ridge part of the project - and confirmed the thick laterite mineralisation, which was identified in this zone during 2008.
And last week, Regency revealed results from the Plateau zone of the project, which confirmed the " significant grade and tonnage potential" of that zone.
The company told investors the zone may have the potential to host one of the world's largest nickel laterites.
