The latest announcement is out from Stranger Holdings ( (GB:NEO) ).

Neo Energy Metals has secured up to £8 million in new funding via a strategic investment and equity placing to advance its Beisa Uranium and Gold Project in South Africa, including the Beatrix 4 mine, processing plant and related infrastructure. An initial £1.5 million has been received through a premium-priced share placement, with an additional £1 million raised in a concurrent placing, and a further £6.5 million in convertible loan funding available once South African regulatory approvals for the Beisa acquisition from Sibanye-Stillwater are obtained, alongside a board nomination right for the strategic investor. The proceeds will fund a four-phase implementation assessment programme, covering mine site re-establishment, shaft refurbishment, workforce mobilisation, processing plant recommissioning and uranium circuit finalisation, and are expected to provide sufficient working capital through to completion of the acquisition. Neo Energy has also agreed to settle £1.176 million of debt via equity issuance, while continuing to work with UK and South African advisors to secure complementary debt, structured finance and equity to complete the Beisa transaction, positioning the company to benefit from robust gold prices and resilient uranium markets as it moves toward production.
