EMC Raises $4 Million at A$0.105 to Advance WA Gold and Critical Minerals

Funding Boost for Strategic WA Projects

Everest Metals Corporation Ltd (ASX, EMC) has successfully secured $4 million through a share placement priced at A$0.105 per share. This capital injection is earmarked to accelerate exploration, development, and commercialisation efforts across its key Western Australian assets, the Mt Dimer Taipan Gold and Silver Project, the Revere Gold Project, and the Mt Edon Critical Minerals Project.

The placement attracted robust support from a mix of existing shareholders and new sophisticated investors, underscoring confidence in EMC’s integrated approach to advancing multiple resource fronts simultaneously. Taurus Capital Group Pty Ltd acted as lead manager for the placement, which is subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting scheduled for mid-September 2025.

Advancing Gold and Critical Minerals

EMC’s Executive Chairman and CEO, Mark Caruso, highlighted the company’s recent milestones, including the completion of a bulk sampling program and the imminent finalisation of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at the Revere Gold Project. These developments set the stage for expanded drilling campaigns aimed at both infill and step-out resource growth.

Simultaneously, EMC is pioneering a patented flowsheet for direct rubidium extraction at Mt Edon, positioning the company at the forefront of what could become Australia’s first rubidium industry. This critical mineral has growing importance in high-tech and clean energy applications, adding a strategic dimension to EMC’s portfolio.

Mining Development and Future Outlook

At Mt Dimer, the company is progressing towards mining approvals for its Taipan Gold and Silver Project, with the newly raised funds facilitating the commencement of mining development activities. This multi-pronged strategy reflects EMC’s confidence in delivering long-term value by advancing gold production alongside critical mineral innovation.

While the timetable for the placement and subsequent share issuance is indicative and subject to regulatory approvals, the company’s clear focus on resource expansion and commercialisation signals a pivotal phase for EMC. Investors will be watching closely as the company moves from exploration to tangible production milestones.
