Proceeds from the Public Offer will be used to fund exploration and development activities on the Company’s Aurora Energy Metals Project in south-eastern Oregon, USA.

The Company will commence trading today on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) at 11:00am AEST under the ticker 1AE.

Euroz Hartleys was Lead Manager to the capital raising.

Aurora’s Managing Director, Greg Cochran, commented:

“We are excited by the strong response that we had to the capital raising from both retail and institutional investors. We could not be happier with the performance of Euroz Hartleys in the process and the quality of the investors they introduced to the register.

“The Aurora Energy Metals Project offers investors two bites at the clean energy pie. We will look to grow the well-defined, shallow uranium resource hosted in the basement and conduct techno-economic studies, whilst following up the significant lakebed sediment-hosted lithium mineralisation that surrounds and overlies it.

“The McDermitt Caldera, which hosts our Aurora Energy Metals Project, is one of the most prospective lithium provinces in the USA. It is home to the two largest lithium resources in the USA and neighbouring peer companies have clearly demonstrated the region’s potential . We are looking forward to undertaking our planned work programs and keeping our shareholders updated on our progress.”
