PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mineral sands developer Image Resources has launched a nonrenounceable rights issue to raise A$6.3-million to fund the advancement of its Boonanarring project, in Western Australia.

“We are also very fortunate to have a strong and very supportive shareholder base, as evidenced by this offer being fully underwritten.”

The rights issue will close on January 12, with the new shares to start trading on January 20.
