Alvo Minerals Limited secured $751K from institutional investors in its accelerated entitlement offer and plans a retail round to raise an extra $811K. The funds will drive exploration in Brazil, with a focus on high-potential gold, copper, and other mineral projects.
Alvo Minerals Limited has successfully completed the institutional portion of its accelerated, non-renounceable entitlement offer, securing binding commitments worth AU$751,133.48. The fundraising exercise involves issuing approximately 78.1 million new fully paid ordinary shares under a two-for-three offer at AU$0.02 per share, in order to raise an aggregate of roughly AU$1.56 million. This amount is split between the AU$751,133.48 raised from institutional investors and an expected AU$810,985 from eligible retail shareholders, with the retail component scheduled to open on 11 June 2025 and close on 20 June 2025.
The company’s Board demonstrated strong confidence in this initiative by subscribing for their full entitlements at a total value of approximately AU$218,234. In addition to the share issuance, participating investors in both the institutional and retail components will receive one free attaching option for every two new shares. These options carry an exercise price of AU$0.05 and are valid for three years from their issue date, with a clause that allows for potential accelerated expiry should the company’s share price reach or exceed AU$0.05 for 20 consecutive trading days.
Proceeds from this entitlement offer will fund the continuous exploration work at the Palma Copper Zinc Project and support further considerations of gold and copper projects in Brazil, as well as addressing general working capital needs. The process follows a detailed timetable, with the prospectus lodged with regulatory bodies on 2 June 2025, settlement of the institutional component expected by 10 June 2025, and ordinary trading of new shares recommencing on an ex-entitlement basis from 11 June 2025. New shares will start trading under normal conditions on 12 June 2025, with the quotation of these new shares anticipated to start on 30 June 2025.
Bullish sentiment is underscored by strong institutional commitment, notable board participation, and the company’s strategic focus on high-potential exploration projects in Brazil, which could drive future value creation. On the other hand, bearish considerations include the inherent risks in early-stage exploration projects and the reliance on ensuring full participation in the retail components of the offer, factors that could affect the overall dilution impact and near-term share performance.
