ANGUS & ROSS PLC
("Angus & Ross" or "the Company")
Angus & Ross Secures Funding Package for GBP5,600,000
* Angus & Ross completes a GBP5M SEDA facility and an equity placing of GBP600,000
before expenses;
* New funds and existing cash resources will enable the acquisition and
development of the Nalunaq Gold Mine and the advancement of the Company's Black
Angel project.
Angus & Ross (AIM: AGU), the AIM quoted mining company is pleased to announce
that it has secured GBP5.6 million by way of a Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement ("SEDA") together with an equity placing. The Company owns the Black
Angel zinc/lead mine in Western Greenland and has recently entered into non
legally binding heads of terms to acquire and develop Nalunaq Gold Mine A/S
("NGM") in Southern Greenland.
The Company has entered into a GBP5.0 million SEDA with YA Global Master SPV
Ltd, which was advised by Yorkville Advisors, LLC. The SEDA enables the Company,
at its discretion during the next 32 months, to draw down funds in tranches in
exchange for the issue of new equity on terms related to the prevailing market
price at the time of each draw down.
In addition, the Company has placed 30,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1 pence
each in the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 2 pence per share,
raising gross proceeds of GBP600,000 through Fox-Davies Capital Limited.
It is intended that the funds raised, together with existing cash resources,
will be used to acquire NGM from Crew Gold Corporation (as per the announcement
of the 7 April 2009) and to advance the Company's Black Angel project.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to
be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will become
effective and that trading will commence on 30 April 2009.
Nicholas Hall (CEO) comments:
"This fundraising enables Angus & Ross to proceed with the acquisition of
Nalunaq with confidence. With comparatively low start up costs and first
production scheduled in 2H 2009, it is anticipated that the acquisition of
Nalunaq will provide Angus & Ross with a positive and regular stream of cash
flow for the first time since its inception. The terms of the SEDA mean that we
will be able to raise cash, as it is needed for development, with the least
possible impact in terms of shareholder dilution.
Nalunaq complements our high grade lead-zinc Black Angel project where the main
development work will commence in the Spring of next year. By that time it is
envisaged that the Company will be benefiting from internal cash generation as
well as the continued improvements in world commodity prices."
