Lucara Diamond (TSX: LUC) is raising $22 million in a bought deal financing to advance work at its 100%-owned Karowe diamond mine in central Botswana, about 350 km north of the capital Gaborone.
A syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets will purchase 29.4 million common shares in the company at 75¢ per share. The deal also includes an over-allotment option for an additional 15% of the public offering at the offer price.
Lucara is also raising about $16 million in a private placement with Nemesia S.a.r.l and certain other investors on the same terms as the bought deal.
