“We are encouraged by the strong vote of confidence shown in our company by an investor of such high calibre and welcome our newest substantial shareholders as a capital partner for our business,” Executive Chairman Julian Babarczy said.
“Funds raised will allow us to rapidly progress Beharra, which we believe will emerge as a leading silica sand export project at a time of persistently strong regional demand for silica sand products,” he added.
