Vast Resources (LSE:VAST), the AIM-quoted mining company developing precious and polymetallic projects in Tajikistan and Romania, has raised £427,000 gross through a further subscription of 6.84m new shares at 6.25p each.
The subscriber is an individual who missed last month's original fundraise due to time constraints, and the terms mirror that deal exactly on price and lock-up commitments.
The investor intends to be a long-term holder and is subject to the same six-month orderly market restrictions as participants in the 31 July subscription, meaning any share sales must go through the company's broker.
Proceeds will go toward general working capital.
News Intelligence what this means for the company
Vast Resources has raised £427,000 from a late-joining subscriber at 6.25p per share, mirroring the terms of last month's fundraise, with an additional £58,355 of consultant fees converted into shares at the same price. The proceeds go to general working capital, and admission is expected around 25 August, bringing total issued share capital to 1.65bn shares. This top-up is modest in scale—equivalent to roughly 0.03% of the enlarged share base—and signals continued reliance on small-scale equity raises to fund operations.
The raise itself is immaterial in size and does not alter the company's capital structure meaningfully. However, it underscores ongoing cash pressure at a company that has been negotiating debt extensions and pursuing a reverse takeover; the shift to consultant fee conversion also hints at liquidity constraints. The investment case remains tied to RTO completion and the company's ability to generate revenue from its Tajikistan and Romania projects.
