Panther Metals (LSE:PALM) has completed a £1.19m fundraising after a heavily oversubscribed placing of 1.7m new shares priced at 70p. The issue represents roughly 24.3% of the company’s existing share capital and was completed at a small discount to the prevailing market price. The placing attracted strong demand from both new and existing institutional investors, bolstering the company’s balance sheet ahead of a proposed dual listing in North America.
The capital raised will be directed toward accelerating drilling at the Wishbone VMS discovery within the Obonga Project, progressing feasibility studies at the Winston tailings project for the recovery of multiple high-value metals, and carrying out magnesium-focused metallurgical test work on Dotted Lake core samples. A portion of the proceeds will also be allocated to general working capital.
Management views the financing as a key enabler to fast-track development across its Canadian portfolio, reinforcing an exploration-driven growth strategy while improving Panther Metals’ positioning within the critical minerals and gold exploration sectors.
From a market perspective, the company’s outlook continues to be weighed down by its pre-revenue status, ongoing losses, and cash burn, resulting in a valuation profile dominated by negative earnings metrics and the absence of dividend visibility. These factors are partially offset by supportive technical signals, including a strong trend relative to moving averages, although an overbought RSI suggests near-term caution.
