    Peak Resources Limited (ASX: PEK) (“Peak” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received binding commitments for a placement of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to raise A$1,500,000 before costs.

    Peak’s Chairman, Peter Meurer commented “The Board and Management team has acted swiftly and decisively to secure a clear cash runway for the Company into early 2021. The current equity market environment is extremely uncertain and volatile, and likely to be that way for some time. It was critical for the financial security of the Company that we took these prudent measures now.”

    We thank all our shareholders for their continued support and the shared vision for Peak’s future. Our shareholders should be extremely comforted that the Management team is clearly aligned with the Company’s shareholders having agreed to 50% cash reductions in remuneration levels and other cost cutting measures. They remain focused on achieving positive outcomes and the objectives we have set out to achieve.

    “Our enthusiasm for the Company’s assets; the outstanding Ngualla Rare Earth Deposit and Teesside separation facility is undimmed. As reported last week (refer ASX announcement Tanzania Special Mining Licence Update” dated 30 March 2020) we remain confident of the receipt of the Special Mining Licence for the development of the Ngualla deposit. Whilst the impact of Covid -19 has temporarily slowed the uptake in electric vehicles the thematic and important role Peak can play in the electrification revolution remains very clear. We see an exciting year and future ahead for the Company”
