MinRex Resources (MRR) has launched legal proceedings to chase up failed payments from its recently completed placement.
The missing funds came from cornerstone investors who signed legally binding commitment letters to participate in the placement.
The company has gone to the Supreme Court of Western Australia, seeking payment for the agreed subscription money and damages arising from the breach, plus interest and costs.
MinRex has issued more than 158.9 million new shares under the placement and will hold a general meeting to obtain shareholder approval for the free attaching options next month.
Managing Director and CEO George Karageorge said the company will continue to make exploration progress.
“Regrettably, some investors chose not to honour their binding commitments and the company is diligently pursuing recovery of those moneys,” he said.
“Despite the outstanding commitments, the company remains well funded (with over $13 million in cash on hand) to complete its project field program and maiden drilling programs over its Eastern Pilbara and Marble Bar Lithium-Tin-Tantalum Project areas.”
Shares were trading in the grey at 3.3 cents each just before market close.
