Argonaut Securities was the sole lead manager for the placement.

Magnetic managing director George Sakalidis said: “The company continues to expand the gold resources at the South Laverton project, and on behalf of the Magnetic Board, I would like to thank our existing shareholders for their ongoing support and welcome new shareholders as we continue to expand the highly promising Lady Julie Gold Project.

“The Lady Julie Gold Project in Laverton continues to expand in size, and with an increasing gold price, the company continues to be excited by the potential for a financially robust low-cost, high-margin gold production.

“Funds from this raising will allow the company to continue to drill for deeper resource extensions at the same time as advancing feasibility work with the view to establishing a long mine life.”
