Backed by mining magnate Gina Rinehart, rare earth and niobium company St George Mining, with a market capitalisation of A$435 million, has launched a new funding round to advance drilling and exploration at its core projects in Brazil. The placement issues new shares to institutional investors at A$0.10 per share, a 9.1% discount to the previous trading day’s closing price. Joint lead managers Canaccord Genuity and Jett Capital Advisers are soliciting bids from Asia-Pacific investors, with the offer closing at 7 p.m. Monday. The placement has a base raising target of A$50 million, with the underwriters reserving A$10 million in oversubscription capacity; the raising is not underwritten. Funds will be used for development and exploration at the company’s Araxa project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, which the company describes as the second-highest-grade rare earth deposit in the Western world.
