Mineral sands explorer Strandline Resources was expected to press go on a capital raising on Tuesday morning.
Street Talk understands the $105 million company – which has projects in Western Australia and Tanzania – was on the hunt for $18.5 million in fresh equity, through a placement of new shares.
The placement was expected to be priced at 21.5¢ a share, which represented a 10.3 per cent discount to Strandline's five-day VWAP. Strandline's shares last traded at 24¢.
Shaw and Partners was lead manager and underwriter on the deal.
Strandline owns two zircon and titanium mineral sands projects that are ready to be developed – the Coburn project in WA and the Fungoni project in central Tanzania – as well as a handful of exploration projects.
