Argonaut acted as Joint Lead Manager to successfully raise $10 million for Apollo Consolidated Limited at an issue price of $0.21 per share by way of a placement (“Placement”)  in 2020 to ramp up diamond drilling activities in the company’s flagship Lake Rebecca Gold Project, as well as to expand maiden mineral resources for other projects. An earlier transaction included a A$6.0 million Placement which was used to accelerate reverse circulation and diamond drilling at the Lake Rebecca Gold Project. Both Placements were underpinned by strong support from institutional and sophisticated investors, which resulted in the capital raising being significantly oversubscribed.
