Street Talk: Shaw rustles up interest in gold play Matador Mining block trade

Shaw and Partners was pitching a parcel of 21.4 million shares in ASX-listed gold exploration company Matador Mining on Thursday.

The broker launched the block trade at 28¢ a share, which was a 12.5 per cent discount to the last close, and was calling for bids by early afternoon.

Funds were told the block trade followed completion of a Cadanian flow through placement of 21.4 million shares at 40.6¢ each.

Funds raised were pegged for exploration activities and study and permitting.

Matador Mining shares were in a trading halt on Thursday while the bookbuild took place.
