Panther Metals PLC (LSE:PALM) has raised £630,000 through a placing of new shares at 12p each.
Darren Hazelwood, Panther’s chief executive, said: "As we work towards the commencement of two drill programmes in Ontario, Canada: Dotted Lake on the Hemlo-Schreiber greenstone belt; and the Wishbone VMS target on the Obonga greenstone belt, this raise provides us with the capital required to proceed exactly as planned during this autumn.
