en.Wedoany.com Reported - Buxton Resources has placed A$1.136 million to sophisticated investors at A$0.035 per share, with terms and issue price consistent with the previous A$3 million financing. The placement originated from an unsolicited inquiry by a UK cornerstone investor and received support from other UK sophisticated investors, further broadening the company's shareholder base. Company Chairman Gervaise Heddle stated that as the company prepares for drilling at the Madman target in Western Australia, this is an exciting time, and the placement will further strengthen the balance sheet, enabling the company to accelerate activities within its exploration portfolio.

Following the completion of the financing, Buxton Resources plans to advance drilling at the Madman target. The exploration target at Madman focuses on a 1-square-kilometer magnetic anomaly, which is believed to be similar to the Havieron gold-copper deposit, Australia's third-largest undeveloped underground gold reserve. Madman is located near the Marloo Fault, a major crustal structure on the western edge of the Paterson Orogen, where large-scale gold-bearing hydrothermal systems have developed, consistent with the world-class copper-gold systems of the Paterson Orogen, including the Telfer project—which had pre-mining reserves of 32 million ounces of gold, 1 million tonnes of copper, and approximately 25 million ounces of silver.

With Greatland Resources receiving approval for the Havieron development project, construction of this gold-copper mine, valued at over A$1 billion, has commenced, sparking a new round of exploration competition in the region, with well-funded Buxton Resources among several contenders. The company stated that the placement funds will be used for exploration activities across its Western Australian project portfolio and general working capital, including drilling and exploration at the Madman and Lateron projects, as well as continued progress at Centurion and Montello, along with broader project evaluation activities. SI Capital acted as lead manager for the UK placement.
