The company intends to fund exploration programmes using the capital raised.

In a stock exchange filing, TNC said: “The Shares will be issued under existing placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A and will be subject to voluntary escrow for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.”

In January this year, TNC received a four-year $28m (A$42m) senior secured loan facility with Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II LP, to support its Cloncurry Copper Project (CCP) in Queensland.

Of the total loan amount, $18m was disbursed immediately while the remaining $10m is contingent on the commencement of commercial sulphide ore production at the CCP.
