Aim-listed Galileo Resources has raised £500 000 through the placing of 100-million new shares at a price of 0.5p a share. The proceeds will be used for general working capital, as well as for advancing its Star Zinc project, in Zambia. Specifically, the company plans to use the proceeds to produce an independent ore resource estimate for the project, complete a preliminary pit design and apply for a small-scale mining permit.
