Andre Booyzen, President and CEO, commented:
"The first half of 2019 has seen steady improvement in efficiencies and resulting production performance as a result of our focus on continuous improvements that were started in late 2018 and still continue. We will remain focussed on producing safely and exceeding production targets."
"This funding demonstrates the confidence our major shareholders have in the board and new executive management of Rambler. It is the start of an exciting era for Rambler as the funding will aid us in starting a process of critical fleet replacement and allow us to repay some important debt, whilst buffering our working capital. Management believe that this will eventually enable us to increase our production to our target of over 1,350 tonnes per day milled at 2% copper grade. "
