Successful Capital Raise to Fund Exploration Goals

Condor Energy Limited (ASX: CND) has successfully raised A$3 million through a placement of fully paid ordinary shares, as announced by the company. The capital raise, which received robust support from institutional, professional, and sophisticated investors, reflects growing confidence in Condor's high-impact exploration and commercialisation plans for the Tumbes Basin Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA), offshore Peru.

The funds raised will bolster Condor’s cash reserves, enabling the company to accelerate exploration and commercialisation activities in the region. At the time of writing, Condor is advancing its work on the TEA with a focus on technical evaluations, resource assessments, and development strategies for the Piedra

Redonda gas discovery.

Planned Utilisation of Funds
The A$3 million proceeds will be allocated to several strategic initiatives, including:

  • Advancing technical work to refine a portfolio of high-priority prospects using extensive 3D and 2D seismic data covering over 3,800 km² and 7,000 km.
  • Conducting resource assessments of high-graded oil prospects to mature exploration targets.
  • Progressing commercialisation efforts for the Piedra Redonda gas discovery, which boasts a recently upgraded Best Estimate (2C) Contingent Resource of 1 trillion cubic feet of gas, including 802 billion cubic feet net to Condor.

Placement and Broker Details

The placement was conducted at an issue price of $0.026 per share, representing a 15.9% discount to the 15-day volume-weighted average price. Settlement is scheduled for January 31, 2025, with Euroz Hartleys Limited acting as the sole lead manager.

Managing Director Serge Hayon remarked, “The strong support from investors highlights the significance of our TEA in the Tumbes Basin. The raised funds position us well to expedite our exploration and commercialisation plans.”
