Minerals 260 has secured an additional $200 million funding package from Franco-Nevada for its 6.2Moz Bullabulling Gold Project, including $170 million in royalty funding and a planned $30 million equity subscription. The deal strengthens project financing, but the future equity raising and higher royalty burden remain important details for shareholders.

VHM has taken Goschen from a permitted project to a more financeable development, with Iluka committing to buy all planned rare earth concentrate and providing A$40 million in convertible note funding.
