Ged Hall, Chairman, commented: "We are delighted with the strong support from both new and existing investors for this capital raise. The funds will enable NFM to accelerate the inaugural drilling campaign, targeting HREE, Niobium and Uranium, at our highly prospective Harts Range Project. Pleasingly, the macro environment is favourable, with recent developments in the US improving the outlook for HREE and Uranium. As such, the Board believes NFM is well placed to generate value for shareholders as the drilling campaign gets underway."
The capital raised from the Placement will be used for ongoing exploration and related activities including:
o Inaugural drill campaign at the Harts Range Project;
