Ora Banda raises A$18m

The newly revamped Ora Banda Mining, previously known as Eastern Goldfields, will raise A$18.5-million through a share placement to accelerate its exploration programme in Western Australia.

Ora Banda will issue 100-million new shares, at a price of 18.5c each, to raise the funds, with the company telling shareholders that the placement has been strongly supported by both existing shareholders and new sophisticated and professional investors.
