Gold Stream Drawdowns to Support Construction Execution
The drawdown schedule is structured to provide regular funding aligned with the construction execution plan, underpinning the company’s efforts to advance Kobada’s infrastructure and processing facilities. This funding is crucial as Toubani moves deeper into the construction phase, aiming to transition from development to production.

This development complements Toubani’s recent successful capital raising activities, including a A$70 million retail entitlement offer and a broader US$208 million funding package that have collectively strengthened the company’s balance sheet and facilitated rapid progress on site. The steady flow of funds from multiple sources underpins both construction and exploration initiatives at Kobada, which is supported by ongoing high-grade drilling results and resource updates.
Next Steps for Investors to Monitor
