(TSXV:RSM) (FSE:BU9) (OTC:RSGOGF) ("RSM", "Resouro" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update in relation to the Company's planned listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Company lodged a Prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on May 1, 2024, to raise AUD$8.0 million (approximately C$7.2 million) via the offer of 16,000,000 CHESS Depository Interests ("CDIs") over common shares in the capital of the Company at an offer price of AUD$0.50 (approximately C$0.45) per CDI ("the Offer").
The Offer is now open and is expected to close on May 23, 2024, with the expected commencement of trading on the ASX to be on or around June 4, 2024, subject to the Company meeting the ASX's listing criteria which it is currently working towards.
Taylor Collison Limited, an Australian broker, is acting as the Lead Manager for the ASX listing process.
