Tanzanian graphite developer Black Rock Mining (BKT) has entered back-to-back trading halts as it gears up to announce another capital raise.
Shares in the company will remain in the halts until Wednesday, October 7, unless Black Rock announces the detail of the raise early.
Today’s flagged capital raise announcement comes just three months from the company’s last fundraise when it announced an entitlement offer in July.
Black Rock raised $1.65 million from the offer, which closed in August, with over 39 million shares issued at 4.2 cents each.
