Tempus Raises A$1.9M to Extend Drilling

Tempus Resources Ltd (“Tempus” or the “Company”) (ASX:TMR)(TSXV:TMRR) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to complete a non-brokered private placement raising gross proceeds of approximately A$1.9 million through the issue of 12,465,425 ordinary shares in the Company at an average price equivalent to A$0.153 per share (the “Placement”). The Placement was strongly supported by North American and Australian institutional and sophisticated investors

Commenting on the Placement, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Bahnsen, said: We plan to resume drilling at our high-grade Canadian Elizabeth Gold Project within the coming 6-8 weeks and the Placement will enable us to extend works there. Given the great results from last year, it’s very exciting to be getting back on the ground at Elizabeth with an enlarged drilling program.

The Company began drilling at Elizabeth in November 2020 and completed 11 holes for 2,006 metres before suspending operations for the season in late-December. Assays returned bonanza grade gold intercepts including:

  • Drill-hole EZ-20-06: 5.0m at 61.3g/t gold from 116.5m, including 1.5m at 186.0g/t gold from 118.0m; and
  • Drill-hole EZ-20-10: 3.2m at 28.1g/t gold from 184.0m, including 0.5m at 178.0g/t gold from 184.5m

The 2021 exploration program at Elizabeth is fully permitted and on schedule to commence by the end of Q2 2021. Tempus currently plans 7,500 metres of drilling to expand the known high-grade gold mineralisation by testing the down plunge and along strike extensions of the currently delineated vein zones.

The Placement will be completed utilising the Company’s available capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It includes two tranches: Tranche 1, which consists of 6,400,000 shares to be issued as “Canadian flow-through shares” at C$0.155 per share; and Tranche 2, which consists of 6,065,425 shares at a price of A$0.145 per share.

The shares issued as “Canadian flow-through shares” qualify as such under the Income Tax Act (Canada), which provides tax credits for investors in qualifying mining and exploration activities. The proceeds of these will be exclusively used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), related to exploration of the Company’s Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada. The Tranche 1 shares are subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) approval and will be subject to a standard Canadian 4 month plus 1 day hold period. Proceeds of Tranche 2 will be available for expenditure on the Company’s Ecuador projects and for general corporate purposes. Shares issued under Tranche 2 will not carry any holding restrictions.

Aesir Corporate Pty Ltd is the Company’s Corporate Adviser. The Placement is non-brokered and the Company has agreed to pay: A$114,608 in advisory / finders fees; plus 2,500,000 unlisted compensation options, with an exercise price of A$0.20 per share for a period of 3 years from the date of issue.

This announcement has been authorised by the Board of Directors of Tempus Resources Ltd.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
