Junior gold miner Nagambie Resources (NAG) has tapped investors for a neat $2.6 million through a placement of convertible notes.
Nagambie told shareholders today it has received subscriptions for the Series 9 notes from sophisticated and professional investors. The notes have a five-year term and a face value of 10 cents each.
Convertible notes act as a form of short-term debt that converts into equity at a later date.
Essentially, the investor lends the required funding to the investee, but instead of being repaid in a typical cash-plus-interest scheme, the loan is repaid via equity in the company.
In Nagambie’s case, the sophisticated and professional investors have given the $2.6 million to the company in return for the notes, which the investors can convert into NAG securities worth 10 cents each at any point in the next five years.
This 10-cent price represents a 23.5 per cent premium to Nagambie’s last closing price of 8.1 cents per share and a whopping 49.3 per cent premium to NAG’s 20-day volume-weighted average price.
The investment deal comes with a 10-per-cent-per-year interest rate that Nagambie will need to pay in cash every six months.
Nagambie said the funding will be added to its working capital to better position the company to advance its various exploration projects.
NAG holds 3600 square kilometres of exploration licences in Central Victoria, along with various tenements for mineral exploration work. However, these tenements require Nagambie to spend a designated amount of money on exploration in the area.
To meet some of its requirements, Nagambie plans to spend just under $1.3 million on exploration work before the end of 2021, with around $1.1 million to be spent per year after this.
Shares in Nagambie Resources dipped slightly in early action today but, by 1:53 pm AEDT, the company has recouped its losses to trade grey at 8.1 cents. Nagambie has a $41 million market cap.
