The cap raise may have been required by Westpac to issue the $20 mil loan.
The combined loan and cap raise will probably yield $43 mil after expences and will IMO likely be required to keep IGR liquid over the next 6 months due to: (a) current low grade (b) pressure on throughput of Sag & ball mills due to opening up the cone crusher by 20% (c) Ongoing UG development costs (d) Paying off the existing $8.3 mil loan (e) Reduced margin because of hedge (f) risk of POG dropping further (g) Cost of new Ball Mill & plant mods to take it (h) Risk of further plant downtime (i) ongoing high exp/drill & strip costs.
The share placement now takes total shares issued to over 934 mi.
The 2102 Annual Report due later should qualify things better.
With kind regards Moorookamick
