LIM completes C$35 million financing
Anglesey Mining plc is pleased to announce that its 50% owned associate Labrador
Iron Mines (LIM) reports that it has completed the previously announced offering
of C$30,003,300 in LIM common shares (the "Treasury Common Shares") and
C$5,054,000 in flow-through shares, which have been placed at a price of C$5.55
per Treasury Common Share and C$6.65 per flow-through share (collectively, the
"Offering"). The Offering was completed by a syndicate of underwriters led by
Canaccord Financial Ltd. and included Jennings Capital Inc. and Haywood
Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters").
LIM intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for exploration and
development of its mineral projects, and for general corporate and working
capital purposes.
LIM has 43,369,951 common shares outstanding after giving effect to the
Offering.
Anglesey Mining plc, in connection with the Offering, has granted the
Underwriters an option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase from Anglesey
up to 810,900 previously issued LIM common shares for the purpose of covering
the Underwriters' over-allocation position at C$5.55 per share for gross
proceeds of up to C$4,500,495 (GBP2.9 million), being up to 15% of the amount
raised from the sale of Treasury Common Shares, exercisable at any time in whole
or in part, up to 30 days after the closing date of the Offering.
Anglesey currently holds 18,600,000 LIM common shares. The net proceeds from
the sale of the optioned shares, if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, will
be received entirely by Anglesey and will be used by Anglesey for general
corporate costs and working capital purposes.
