The placement, priced at A$0.072 per share, represents a 10% discount to the last traded price and will be conducted in two tranches.

The funds raised will support Cygnus’ extensive exploration and development programs at the Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project in Canada, which is set to expand following the company's merger with TSXV-listed Dore Copper Mining Corp. The completion of Tranche 1 will leave Cygnus with around A$9.6 million in cash, with the merged group expected to be well-funded to unlock project value.
