The company recently intersected 36m at 4.2% copper at the project.

Carnaby managing director Rob Watkins said: “The investment from new and existing institutional shareholders is further validation of the potential of the Mount Hope discovery, as well as the wider Greater Duchess Copper-Gold Project.

“The proceeds from this placement puts us in a very strong position, with A$31.8 million of pro-forma cash to accelerate exploration across the Greater Duchess Copper-Gold Project, with a focus on further drilling to support and grow a maiden mineral resource estimate in Q3 2023.”

This follows another A$20m placement a year ago, which involved the issuance of 15.4 million new fully paid ordinary shares at A$1.30 a share.

The proceeds were mainly utilised to expedite the exploration of Carnaby’s Nil Desperandum and Lady Fanny discoveries at the Greater Duchess project.
