From the life of mine plan we knew that we were needing about US$60M for Morilla.

Cash on hand is likely ~A$25m, and we have just raised a further A$47m. Giving a total of A$72m or US$54m, we have also earmarked US$50-75m Debt. Now either management want a big buffer in case of a gold downturn (which will increase the capex due to reduced cashflow while the mine comes online) or they are strengthening the balance sheet for an acquisition. Under current market conditions the company can just about organically fund Morilla without any debt and is in a very strong position to deliver Goulamina to the market, I do wonder what else is on the shopping list....

If the deep plan is to strengthen the balance sheet for the hoped for acquisition of Tongon or something similar, then it's an extremely ballsy way to do it.
