The package comprises a two-tranche placement worth AUD 205 million (USD 134.5 million) and an additional AUD 10 million (USD 6.6 million) from EEA. Institutional investors will provide AUD 36 million (USD 23.62 million) in the first tranche, while EEA will commit AUD 100 million (USD 65.6 million) in the second, raising its stake in Canyon to 56.5%.
These funds will be combined with Canyon’s existing cash reserves and directed towards the construction of the Minim Martap mine and increase the company’s stake in Camrail from the current 9.1 per cent, in order to have greater control over the transport and logistics network.
