![Valence Industries (ASX:VXL) To Raise up to AU$10.1 Million](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
This capital raising is a very positive step for the Company and will precede the listing of Valence Industries Limited (VXL) on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), scheduled for this December. In addition the Directors believe the Rights Issue offers an attractive opportunity to invest in the Company prior to the ASX Listing.
"Once we have raised the capital and are listed on the ASX we have an exciting program to implement for the company. The first step in the program is the recommencement of graphite production and sales from the Uley Graphite Mine in South Australia in the first quarter of 2014." said Christopher Darby, MD & CEO.
The proceeds from the capital raising will ensure that the Company can pursue Phase 1 processing of existing graphite stockpiles at Uley, which is intended to provide early graphite sales and revenue in preparation for our proposed Phase 2 full-scale mining and production, increasing production from late 2014 to between 50,000 and 60,000 tonnes of graphite per year.
Patersons Securities Limited (AFSL 239 052) (Patersons) is Lead Manager and Underwriter to the offer. The offer is underwritten to the minimum raising amount of $6.5 million.
We expect that this IPO will be very popular and may close early. The company raised $1m in the pre-IPO raising very rapidly. We recommend that investors make application as soon as possible in case issue closes early.
The Share price is $0.20 with a 1 for 1 attaching Option. The minimum IPO investment is 10,000 shares costing $2,000 and then in multiples of 1,000 shares.
