A Swiss company, Alpha Securities AG, has agreed to invest $1.5 million in Stratmin Inc. (ME) in return for about 1.4 million A shares of the latter valued at $1.10 per share, Stratmin reports. The subscription agreement is subject to regulatory approval. The company plans to use the funds mainly to winterize and increase the capacity of the mill rented from Asbury Graphite Mills at Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Que., as well as the construction of a new tailings pond in connection with the use of the mill.
Stratmin recently completed a feasibility study dealing with placing the company’s Quebec graphite deposit, located 45 km north of the mill, into production. Details of the study have yet to be released.
In other news, Stratmin and a private investor have reached agreement whereby the company will receive $300,000 in return for A shares at $1.23 per share. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
Stratmin will use the funds for exploration work at the Fontana gold property in northwestern Quebec. Stratmin and Bay Resources & Services (ASE) will amend an existing agreement so as to extend to one year the delay in which Stratmin may earn its interest in the Fontana project.
