Orogen Gold Plc
("Orogen" or "the Company")
Placing raising GBP1.125 million for further drilling at Mutsk
gold project in Armenia
Orogen Gold (AIM: ORE), the AIM quoted gold exploration company,
announces that it has through Hume Capital Securities plc
conditionally placed 1,022,727,272new ordinary shares of 0.1p each
("Ordinary Shares") (the "Placing Shares") with existing and new
investors at a price of 0.11p per share, raising GBP1,125,000
before expenses (the "Placing"). The net proceeds of the Placing
will provide additional working capital which will be used, inter
alia, to advance the Company's exploration programme over its
highly prospective Mutsk gold project in Armenia (the "Mutsk
project").
The Placing Shares will represent approximately 29.92 per cent.
of the Company's enlarged share capital.
Ed Slowey, Chief Executive of Orogen, comments:
"The strong drilling results reported earlier this week from the
Mutsk project, including wide intervals of gold mineralisation, are
very encouraging. Indications are that gold distribution is
extensive. It is clear at this stage that the project warrants a
further drilling programme both to explore the limits of the
mineralisation and to undertake infill drilling that can define a
maiden resource. This new funding can help bring us towards this
goal and we will work actively towards these twin aims over the
coming weeks and months."
Rationale for the Placing
The net proceeds of the Placing will enable the Company to
progress with additional drilling at the Mutsk project, where
recently announced assay results and on-going drilling confirm the
discovery of further gold-bearing zones. New intersections reported
include 60m @ 1.21g/t Au, including 10m @ 3.11g/t Au, with
additional zones of hydrothermal alteration and pyrite
mineralisation being investigated up to 1.6km from the new
discovery.
Orogen has an exclusive agreement with JV partner, Georaid CJSC,
to earn an 80% interest in the Mutsk project by spending a total of
US$2.5m by the end of August 2016.
Issue of Placing Shares
The Placing is solely conditional upon admission of the Placing
Shares to AIM ("Admission").
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the
Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected
that Admission will become effective and that dealings will
commence in the Placing Shares on or around 16 September 2014.
The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all
respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.
Total Voting Rights
For the purposes of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the
Company's total issued share capital following the completion of
the Placing will consist of 3,418,566,392 ordinary shares of 0.1p
each with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in
treasury.
The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest
in, the Company, under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
