Successful Placing to fund Aminex to First Gas Production
The Company is pleased to announce that it has successfully raised approximately £3.3 million (approximately $4.4 million) before expenses to fund the Company to the expected receipt of revenue from first gas production at the Ntorya field, currently projected for end of 2024, through the issue of 440,482,181 new ordinary shares in the capital of Aminex (the "Placing") at a price of Stg 0.75p per share (the "Placing Shares").
The board of Aminex has taken the strategic decision to seek funds at this stage to meet all of its forecasted running costs (before contingent liabilities) to the end of 2024, when first gas has been targeted by the operator of the Ruvuma PSA, ARA Petroleum Tanzania Limited ("APT"). As previously announced, the Company has continued to reduce its overheads over the last three years and the Company's estimated running costs for 2022 (before one-off costs and exceptional items) are approximately US$1.4 million.
