Nevada Copper in ‘financial difficulty’ without C$97m bought-deal raising

Base metals miner Nevada Copper has announced a C$97-million bought-deal raising, without which the company is in “serious financial difficulty”, owing to the lack of available cash and funding resources. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund operations, including to continue the previously-announced accelerated mine development plan and to restart and ramp-up production from its Pumpkin Hollow underground mine, in Nevada, US.
