Culpeo Minerals Limited (Culpeo or the Company) (ASX:CPO, OTCQB:CPORF) is pleased to announce it has received binding commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately $2.2 million (before costs) under a placement of fully paid ordinary shares (Placement).


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Firm commitments received to raise approximately $2.2 million (before costs).
  • Strong support for the Placement received from sophisticated and professional investors, validating the high prospectivity of the Company’s copper projects in Chile.
