No worries Andy, this BB is full enough of lines of filtered messages, we certainly don't need it clogged by me with repeat articles.

Condor Gold has raised £2.6 mln via a placing of units to some heavy-hitting mining industry professionals


Shares in Condor Gold PLC (LON:CNR) were more than three per cent better off in early trade in London this morning, after the company revealed that renowned Canadian mining investor Ross Beaty was one of the key participants in a £2.6 mln placing.

The money will be raised via the issue of 6.45 mln new units priced at 40p each, with each unit consisting of one share and two-thirds of a warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share at 60p.

Adding unlisted warrants to a share placing is a classic Canadian fundraising tactic and will no doubt have been driven in part by a desire to secure Beaty as an investor.

Following the issue of the new shares, Beaty will hold just over 7% of the company. But he’s not the only Canadian to have found the terms attractive enough to come on board this time round.

A specialist resource fund affiliated to Sprott Inc., probably the biggest name of all in Canadian junior mining investment, has also come on board.

The arrival of these two Canadian giants on the Condor register marks a significant step change in the corporate development of the company, after it emerged from a mandatorily-imposed bid period at the end of last year and subsequently released highly attractive results from a pit optimisation study run at the La India gold project in Nicaragua by the famous Whittle Consulting team.

That study showed that La India has the potential to produce between 91,000 and 165,000 ounces of gold over the first five years of mining, and has an average NPV US$195M. It willhave been a significant factor in convincing Sprott and Beaty to sign up.

But a technical team from Beaty’s organisation has been down to La India to see it for themselves, and their positive appraisal is a significant boost for the project’s credibility.

“They like the 2.4 mln ounces that we have,” says Condor’s executive chairman Mark Child, “and they like the four grams grade. But then they also like the fact that La India hosts a big gold deposit and that we’re understanding it much, much more as a district play.”

And it’s that aspect that Child believes is a huge tick in the box this time round. “These are people who know what we’re looking for here,” he says. “Sometimes it’s difficult to get that across to the market.”

But when Canada’s biggest mining names endorse your asset and your strategy with hard cash, that’s worth shouting about.

The plan now, buoyed by the new cash, is to de-risk the project by securing full permitting and land access.

Gold, reckons Child, is “underpinned” by negative interest rates globally, and by the dovish noises made by Janet Yellen last week.

That sets a good context for further progress to take place at La India as Condor begins to deploy the new money.

To me it confirms that jv is no where near, if at all.Without news of eia completion the share price is always likely to drift below the placing price due to dilution

Most people knew a placing would happen if there was no JV or sale, it was only a matter of timing. I thought May as a likely month but happy its here now as it gets funding issues out of the way for good while.

Whats more important now is that:

1. CNR have $3.64m + whatever is left in the bank say $0.5m, minus $0.67m, approx $3.47m.
2. Markets like certainty, and this removes doubt about the size of placing, price of placing and the companies financial strength
3. We have an astute new mining investor, Ross Beaty, that has conducted DD and is happy with what he sees.
4. We have astute directors investing more that know the company details and are happy to increase their holdings.
5. We can reasonably assume Ross Beaty's DD included looking at the ongoing permitting, Whittle report and land purchase mechanism, and was happy with what he saw.

We have been diluted 15%, but that comes with the territory, and imo the cash injection, removal of uncertainty and independant vote of confidence far out ways the 15% dilution.

I think MC was spot on with guidance, TW not so much.

[andy] 04/4/2016 10:34

hazl,


Oh yes they did!

There were attempts to lengthen the period their cash would last before a placing was needed, whilst those with experience in the market knew they would raise well before their cash ran out.

[hazl] 04/4/2016 10:26

These firms always need cash resources at this stage of their growth.
I don't think anybody said differently?
For me it was about the strength of the asset and potential going forward.

Just bought some..showing up as a 'sell'.

[andy] 04/4/2016 09:37

bunpa,

good, I thought I as going crazy for aminute!

Good placing price, and Ross is a good investor, so overall positive although you can't ignore the dilution.

At least this will stop some people denying a placing was coming, the accounts told us it was.

[bumpa33] 04/4/2016 09:12

I stand corrected, and therefore actually pretty positive all told...

[hazl] 04/4/2016 09:11

At last somebody who knows what they are talking about!
THanks GONEAWOL.

[temujiin] 04/4/2016 09:02

Your maths is correct Goneawol

[goneawol] 04/4/2016 08:56

So for 3 units costing £1.20 (3 @ 40p placing)

Shareholder gets 3 shares and two warrants.
Condor gets £1.20

Shareholder exercises the warrants at 60p

Shareholder now has 5 shares.
Company has £2.40 (3 shares at 40p, 2 warrants at 60p)

48p per share.
.....

Happy to be corrected

[hazl] 04/4/2016 08:53

The start of the gold bull and money is always required its great to attract the calibre of the fresh investor.

[temujiin] 04/4/2016 08:50

Bumpa, you are talking about the 'nominal value' of the company shares, which is a fixed amount, it doesn't vary (look back at other placing RNS's) and isn't linked to the actual live, real time, price of Condors shares. A common misunderstanding.

[hazl] 04/4/2016 08:48

'The proceeds of the Placing will be used for general working capital purposes and specifically: to fully permit Mina La India in Nicaragua, pay the remaining US$670,000 for the purchase of the Espinito-Mendoza concession (see RNS dated 21 March 2016), secure the surface rights for the rural land that host and surround the future mine infrastructure and continue work to demonstrate the significant exploration upside of the 2.4M oz gold resource at 4.0g/t gold at La India Project.
