Result of General Meeting

 

StratMin Global Resources Plc (AIM: STGR), the London listed graphite production and exploration company focused on Madagascar, is pleased to announce that all resolutions put to shareholders at the General Meeting held earlier today were duly passed.

 

Dealings are expected commence at 8.00 a.m. on 29 January 2013. This follows a share consolidation of every ten existing StratMin Shares of 0.4p each into one new StratMin Share of 4p, the completion of a placing of 30,060,000 Convertible Loan Notes of 5 pence each with an aggregate value of £1,503,000, raising in aggregate approximately £1.5 million (before expenses) and the acquisition of Graphmada Equity Pte Limited ("Graphmada").

 

Key Highlights:

 

·; £25.5 million consideration for the acquisition, which has been satisfied through the issue of 51,000,000 new ordinary shares of 4p each at a price equivalent to 5p per share;

·; placing of 30,060,000 Convertible Loan Notes of 5p, raising £1,503,000 before expenses; and

·; creation of UK's only quoted graphite miner, with phased production ramp up scheduled over the next two quarters.

 

The placing provides sufficient funds for working capital requirements and enables the Company to:

 

·; provide for the continuous operation and maintenance of the existing 12,000 tonnes per annum graphite processing facility at the Loharano Graphite Project;

·; review expansion opportunities of the graphite processing facility at the Loharano Graphite Project;

·; conduct a drilling program within the Loharano Licence area to upgrade the existing resource and also prove up additional graphite resources;

·; install an upgraded graphite drying facility at Loharano; and

·; acquire additional earth moving equipment.

 

The strategy of StratMin is to focus on the graphite mining sector through the development of Graphmada's existing Loharano Graphite Project. The Company will continue to review and consider other opportunities in strategic minerals that are supplementary and complementary to the business.

 

On admission, the Company will have 60,060,998 ordinary shares admitted to trading on AIM. The Graphmada concert party, details of which are set out in the admission document, is interested in 52,836,803 Ordinary Shares, representing 87.2% of the issued share capital on admission.

 

Gobind Sahney, Chairman of StratMin, commented "We are extremely pleased with the successful outcome of today's General Meeting. It is a clear indication that our vision to transform StratMin into a producing graphite mining company is well understood and supported by our shareholders. This acquisition of Graphmada concludes a major milestone for StratMin and we look forward to becoming a significant player in the graphite market to the benefit of our shareholders."
