Phoenix raises cash for silver deposit adjacent to Empire copper mine

Aim-listed Phoenix Copper has raised £850 000 (about $1.09-million) to develop the Red Star silver deposit adjacent to its proposed Empire openpit copper mine, in Idaho, US.

The company raised £340 000 by way of a subscription for new ordinary shares of no par value at 17p each, and £510 000 by issuing 12% unsecured loan notes.
