The placing has raised £38.4m before expenses, which will be used, together with cash flow from operations, primarily to ensure that the Phase II Expansion is completed on schedule. Up to $30m of the placing proceeds is expected to be applied to meet the expansion costs.
Remaining proceeds will be retained as contingency funding or be used to finance initial payments associated with the procurement of a new upgraded dredge, and to continue to progress the preliminary initiatives relating to the Phase III Expansion.
