PolyMet completes rights offering
PolyMet Mining Corp. (NYSE: PLM) announced the successful completion of its $60.5 million offering of rights to acquire the company's common shares, which expired Wednesday.
Received were 3,194 subscriptions valued at $95.5 million for 144.7 million common shares of PolyMet, which hopes to mine copper, nickel and precious metals near Hoyt Lakes, Minn. Basic subscriptions were allotted based on shares owned and additional subscriptions were sold individually. Glencore, a significant investor in PolyMet, acquired 34.7 percent of the shares. Because the rights offering was oversubscribed, Glencore did not purchase any common shares under its standby commitment.
"This is a tremendous outcome for PolyMet, demonstrating the depth of support from Glencore and other shareholders as we complete the environmental review and permitting process and prepare for project construction," Jon Cherry, PolyMet president and CEO, said in a news release.
