Closing of Institutional Placement and Accelerated Entitlement Offer

(TheNewswire)

6 August 2021 TheNewswire - Jervois Mining Limited (" Jervois " or the " Company ") (ASX:JRV) (TSXV:JRV) (OTC:JRVMF) confirms the completion of the institutional placement (" Placement ") of A$87 million and the institutional portion of the fully underwritten pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (" Entitlement Offer " and together with the Placement, the " Offer "), as originally announced on 27 July 2021. Upon the completion of the retail component of the Offer (which is expected on September 1, 2021) gross proceeds to the Company are expected to aggregate approximately A$313 million.

Jervois has received gross proceeds of A$135 million and issued 307,086,632 new ordinary shares as part of the completion of the Placement and the institutional portion of the Entitlement Offer.

The only insider participant in the Placement and the institutional portion of the Entitlement Offer was AustralianSuper Pty Limited (" AustralianSuper "), which subscribed for 114,286,523 new shares (at an aggregate subscription price of A$50.2 million). On closing of the Offer, AustralianSuper's shareholding in the Company increases from 13.5% to 15%.

AustralianSuper is a "related party" of the Company within the meaning of that term defined in Canadian Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") given its greater than 10% shareholding. AustralianSuper's participation in the Offer is therefore a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. Pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company's shareholders in respect of the Offer due to the fair market value of AustralianSuper's participation being below 25% of the Company's market capitalization for purposes of MI 61-101. The Company will file a material change report in respect of the closing of the Offer. However, the material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offer, which is consistent with market practice and the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances.

Cobalt Uses: Batteries and More (Updated 2023)

Cobalt, an ultramarine pigmented mineral, has been valued by humans since the Egyptians used it as a coloring agent.

Today, this critical metal is considered an essential element. Cobalt is best known as a raw material in lithium-ion batteries, but its high melting point and ability to maintain strength even at raised temperatures make it useful in cutting tools, superalloys, surface coatings, high-speed steels and many other materials.

Below is an overview of those and other cobalt uses that investors should know about.

How to Invest in Cobalt (Updated 2023)

Cobalt has been used as a blue coloring agent in pottery, glass and ceramics for thousands of years.

However, more recently, demand from high-tech sectors has overshadowed traditional cobalt uses. Today, this critical metal is an essential ingredient in electric vehicle (EV) batteries, energy storage systems, metal alloys and more.

The battery sector in particular has become a major source of cobalt demand. Demand for lithium-ion batteries, which require cobalt, is escalating, and analysts expect that this sector will drive the cobalt market going forward. At the same time, cobalt supply could tighten substantially due to human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where most cobalt is produced.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works - CEO Frank Basa

Canada Silver Cobalt Works CEO Touts "Massive" Opportunities for Battery Metals in North America

Canada Silver Cobalt Works (TSXV:CCW) CEO Frank Basa sees massive opportunities in the battery metals market and believes North America is well positioned to develop a domestic supply chain for these critical minerals.

“I think the battery metals are not going to go away. Quebec and Ontario are safe jurisdictions globally. And I think a lot of support will come from the government. It's a good fit for us,” Basa said.

The chief executive said Canada in particular has all the right ingredients to develop the resources needed for global electrification and decarbonization, including sound infrastructure and a stable and supportive government.

Cobalt Reserves: Top 3 Countries (Updated 2023)

Cobalt has gained considerable market attention over the past couple of years. Even though prices for the battery metal have been volatile, more and more investors are showing interest in cobalt.

This focus on cobalt has erupted due to the essential role the commodity plays in the lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles (EVs) — including the popular nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery.

Despite the existence of cobalt-free lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries and the potential for disruptive new battery technologies, demand for cobalt is expected to rise, and market watchers are keen to find out where it may be mined in the future. That’s why it’s important to review cobalt reserves, which is how much economically mineable cobalt a country holds. By keeping an eye on these numbers, it’s possible to guess which countries may become — or continue to be — cobalt powerhouses.
