Cotabambas Mineral Resource Estimate:
Panoro Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PML) will raise C$21 million in an upsized private placement to fund work at its copper project in Peru, a 5% increase from the original C$20 million target.
"The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration and development at the Cotabambas Copper-Gold-Silver Project in Peru and for general corporate and working capital purposes," the company said in a statement.
Due to strong demand, the company will now issue up to 22.1 million shares at a price of C$0.95 per share. The initial offering was for 21.05 million shares. The offering is expected to close on or about May 13, 2026, and is being led by Clarus Securities Inc.
The financing provides capital to advance the Cotabambas Project, a large-scale copper-gold-silver deposit in southern Peru. The project's scale is a key focus for investors, with the company aiming to develop a significant resource in a top copper-producing jurisdiction.
The Cotabambas Project holds a substantial mineral resource, as detailed in a February 2024 technical report. The indicated resources total 507.3 million tonnes with a copper equivalent grade of 0.43%, and inferred resources are 496.0 million tonnes at 0.36% CuEq.
Within this, a higher-grade component in the indicated category contains 129.0 million tonnes grading 1.29% CuEq. This higher-grade core is significant when compared to many operating copper mines globally, where average grades have been declining. The funds from this financing are intended to further explore and define this resource.
Agents for the offering will receive a 6.0% cash commission and compensation options equal to 6.0% of the shares sold, exercisable at C$1.00 for 12 months.
