Pure Resources Completes Capital Raising to Advance Garnet Hills Project

Source: Kapitales Research

Highlights:

  • Pure Resources has successfully finalised a AU$1.7 million capital raising through the issuance of new fully paid ordinary shares.
  • Funds raised will be used to progress development of the Garnet Hills garnet and graphite project in Western Australia, while also providing additional working capital support.
  • The issue of free attaching options is conditional on shareholder approval, which is expected to be sought at a general meeting scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.

Capital Raising Finalised

Pure Resources Limited (ASX: PR1) confirmed the completion of its previously announced equity placement, with new fully paid ordinary shares now issued to investors. The company issued a total of 11,333,333 shares at an issue price of $0.15 per share, raising $1.7 million before costs.

The placement was executed in a single tranche under the company’s existing issuance capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The newly issued shares carry the same rights as existing ordinary shares, enhancing balance sheet strength as the company advances its development plans.

Options Pending Shareholder Approval

Under the terms of the placement, Pure Resources plans to issue one free attaching option for every three shares subscribed, resulting in a total of 3,777,778 options. Each option will carry an exercise price of $0.25 and is set to expire on 12 December 2028.

The issue of these options is subject to shareholder approval, which the company intends to seek at a general meeting scheduled to be held in the first quarter of 2026. Once approved, the options are expected to provide additional funding flexibility should they be exercised in the future.

Funding Garnet Hills Development

Capital raised through the placement will be directed largely toward advancing work at the Garnet Hills garnet and graphite project in Western Australia. The project represents a key asset within the company’s portfolio and aligns with its broader strategy of building exposure to battery and industrial minerals.

In addition to project expenditure, a portion of the proceeds will be used to support general working capital requirements, providing operational flexibility as the company continues to assess growth opportunities across its asset base.

Strategic Direction and Outlook

Pure Resources continues to position itself as a battery metals-focused explorer and developer, with an existing portfolio that includes nickel, copper, garnet, and graphite assets. Management has indicated a longer-term ambition to expand exposure to commodities such as lithium, rare earths, and graphite through organic project development or potential acquisitions.

With the placement now completed, investor attention is likely to turn to progress at Garnet Hills, upcoming shareholder approvals, and how effectively the company deploys capital to advance its development objectives while maintaining balance sheet discipline.
