The PIPE is priced at $10 per share and comes from a number of large, global natural resource funds.
In addition, the SPAC disclosed that its Chair of the Board of Directors, Neville Power, entered into a subscription agreement with an aggregate purchase price of $500,000.
Today’s additional agreements bring the PIPE to approximately $140 million, surpassing the company’s initial fundraising target of $126 million.

The SPAC’s management team subscribed for $1.8 million with its CEO Michael James McMullen taking the bulk of this on with a $1.5 million investment while CFO Marthinus Crouse subscribed for $250,000 and Director Patrice Ellen Merrin for $50,000.
The company also disclosed today that the SEC has declared its registration statement on Form F-4 effective.
