Deep Yellow Limited: Successful $220m Placement to Move Tumas Towards Production
The Placement was strongly supported by both new and existing domestic and international institutional investors, with demand exceeding the funds the Company sought to raise through the Placement.
A significant portion of the funds raised will be utilised by Deep Yellow to advance the development of the Tumas Project, including the commencement of construction post Final Investment Decision (FID) and securing debt financing. Funds will also be used to advance the Company's organic growth projects, including the revised Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Mulga Rock Project and pursuing significant exploration upside potential at both the Alligator River Project, (Northern Territory), and Omohola Project, (Namibia). Deep Yellow will also be progressing its inorganic growth strategy via value-accretive M&A through the assessment of targeted opportunities.
Deep Yellow's Managing Director & CEO, John Borshoff said: "We are very pleased with the success of the placement raising $220M, buoyed by the overwhelming level of interest to participate, and would like to thank all existing and new investors for their support."
"The significant interest in the placement and quantum of equity raised represents an important milestone in the development of Deep Yellow, allowing us to materially advance the Tumas Project and bring an important greenfield conventional uranium project into production within the next three years. This is the result of a consistently applied, focused 7-year strategy based on the foresight that the uranium supply squeeze currently being experienced was inevitable.
This strategy has been supported by a proven, highly credentialled and experienced uranium team that has successfully assembled a relevant pipeline of geographically diverse projects through both organic and inorganic growth endeavours."
"I take pride in the stature of the team we have built, the tremendous support received for this raising, and the portfolio of quality projects we have introduced for development. The Tumas Project represents a long-life high-quality asset timed to deliver into what is a supply-constrained market. The Mulga Rock Project is next in the development schedule and provides a great opportunity to develop our second uranium mine, that will also benefit from integrating the value-adding critical minerals and magnetic rare earth elements associated with these deposits."
"Crucially, Deep Yellow is well-positioned and this is timed perfectly. With the funds raised, we can now move forward with confidence in progressing the development of our two advanced uranium projects while extracting the full resource potential from our highly prospective exploration projects and continuing with our successful M&A strategy to grow our project pipeline to be ready for more, much needed future development."
