FEBRUARY 2008
BRUMBY ANNOUNCES UNDERWRITTEN $2.57M ENTITLEMENTS
ISSUE to ACCELERATE EXPLORATION
Brumby Resources
Limited (ASX: BMY) is pleased to announce an underwritten 1-for-2
pro-rata non-renounceable entitlements issue to shareholders, to raise a total
of $2.57 million (the Entitlements Issue).
The funds will be used to underpin an aggressive exploration work program
during 2008, focusing on the Company’s highly prospective Pilbara iron
ore projects.
The Entitlements
Issue will be offered to existing shareholders on the basis of one (1) new
share for every two (2) shares held at the record date at an issue price of
$0.14 per share (Share) to raise
approximately $2.57m (before costs). For every Share issued there will be
granted for no additional consideration one (1) quoted option, exercisable at
$0.15 each, with an expiry date of 31 January 2010 (Options). Based on the Company’s current issued capital
the Entitlements Issue will result in 18,348,958 Shares and Options being
issued.
Argonaut is the
underwriter to the Entitlements Issue.
Commenting on the
Entitlement Issue, Brumby’s Managing Director Mr Geoff Jones said:
“We are very pleased to be able to offer our shareholders participation
in this capital raising as we enter a significant period in the Company’s
development.”
“The funds
raised will enable us to mount an aggressive exploration campaign on what we
consider to be potentially company making targets and we will move quickly to
drill these targets once approvals have been granted,” he added.
Brumby is gearing up
for a busy exploration field season once statutory approvals have been granted,
with priority to be given to drilling the two large-scale iron ore targets at
Pardoo East. These targets - which were identified from an interpretation of
ground gravity and aeromagnetic surveys completed in 2007 - have the potential
to host significant hematite iron mineralisation and are located close to the
coast, excellent Pilbara infrastructure and several operating and historic
hematite operations.
Brumby also intends
to undertake additional drilling at its Goldsworthy Project to follow up recent
drilling results and further test two identified ground magnetic and gravity
anomalies which are also prospective for iron ore mineralisation. The
intersections received from Brumby’s recent drilling – which were
originally targeting an anomalous platinum-copper-gold intersection –
have continued to enhance the iron ore potential of the Goldsworthy tenements.
Further details of
the issue including the timetable of the issue and the full terms and
conditions of the Options will be detailed in a prospectus proposed to be
lodged with ASIC on or about 6 March 2008.
