Townsville Bulletin
Star Minerals is welcoming $1.6m and a new strategic investor to the register to advance its Tumblegum South gold project.
Even smaller players have been able to make tidy sums through record gold prices.
The Courier Mail
Star Minerals (ASX:SMS) received firm commitments for the placement to work on Tumblegum South and look at other opportunities, with Indian private equity giant Bain Global Resources taking part as a new strategic shareholder.
It’s the latest move the cashed-up investor has made in the WA junior gold space, and could lead to further support down the line like Bain has given to Rumble Resources and Legacy Iron Ore.
There’s already a 45,000oz contained gold resource in place on a granted mining lease at Star’s Tumblegum South, which the company believes can be swiftly brought into production.
The West Australian
Star Minerals is fast-tracking plans to mine its promising 45,000-ounce Tumblegum South gold project, 40 kilometres south of Meekatharra in Western Australia, after issuing 64 million new shares to raise $1.6 million in fresh cash.
The decision to press the go button on Tumblegum South was prompted in large part by the strong recent interest from exploration companies and mining contractors wishing to partner with the company to monetise the asset at a time of all-time high gold prices.
As part of the capital raising, Star attracted BGR Mining and Infra Limited - one of India’s largest mining contractors - to its register. Management says that as a strategic investor BGR has been lured by the economics of the project against a backdrop of a buoyant metal price.
