Strategic Funding Boost for Exploration

The placement was jointly managed by Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, with a 6% cash fee (plus GST) payable on the total funds raised. Additionally, five million unlisted options will be issued, exercisable at $0.0675 with a three-year expiry.

Management Commentary

Executive Chairman Andrew Sparke expressed confidence in the company’s direction, stating:

“We are pleased with the strong support for this capital raise, which highlights the quality of our copper and gold assets. This funding allows us to accelerate our exploration efforts and further demonstrate the scale of our Mt Chalmers and Develin Creek projects. We sincerely thank our investors and brokers for their ongoing support.”

Next Steps

A large drilling campaign at Develin Creek is set to commence shortly, targeting infill and extensional drilling to expand the existing high-grade copper-zinc deposits. This initiative aligns with QMines’ broader strategy of transitioning towards sustainable copper and gold production.

With this capital raise, QMines is well-positioned to advance its projects and strengthen its position in the growing copper and gold sector.
