Meridian Mining (TSX, LSE: MNO) has successfully commenced trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market after raising £25 million ($34 million), a strategic move aimed at securing future inclusion in the FTSE All-Share and FTSE 250 indices. The capital injection will accelerate the development of its Cabaçal gold-copper project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, an advanced-stage open-pit operation with an estimated post-tax IRR of 61% and a net present value of US$984 million. This London listing expands the company's global footprint beyond Toronto and Frankfurt, positioning the Cabaçal volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit as a scalable platform for the company's South American growth strategy.
