Perth, Australia - Eagle Mountain Mining Ltd. (ASX:EM2) (OTCMKTS:EGMMF) is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments to raise $16 million through the issue of approximately 35.5 million fully paid ordinary shares to institutional investors at $0.45 per share ("Placement").

The Company would like to thank and acknowledge the strong support of its existing institutional shareholders. In addition, as part of the Placement, Managing Director, Mr Charles Bass, intends to subscribe for $1 million which is subject to shareholder approval to be sought at a forthcoming General Meeting.

Commenting on the successful capital raise, CEO, Tim Mason said:

"The Board and I are very pleased with the strong support received for this equity raising, in particular from our existing major institutional shareholders who continue to back the Company in our objective to become a significant copper producer.

This fund raise will allow us to continue to expand and upgrade the high-grade mineral resources at Oracle Ridge and pave the way for a preliminary feasibility study to commence in 2023. As part of our development pathway, we are refurbishing the underground mine to dramatically improve drilling efficiency and allow for the potential development of an exploration drive which could later be used as an access for mining purposes.

I wish to thank Charlie Bass, our Managing Director, who continues to show his unwavering financial support for the Company with another commitment to subscribe for $1 million as part of the Placement.

The combination of the strong outlook for the copper market, the competitive strengths of the Oracle Ridge project and ongoing exploration success positions the Company with a solid base for growth in shareholder value."
