Viridis Secures AU$25m to Fast-Track Colossus Rare Earth Project

The latest update is out from Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited ( (AU:VMM) ).

Viridis Mining and Minerals has secured firm commitments for a heavily oversubscribed AU$25 million equity placement at AU$1.90 per share, driven by strong participation from new and existing global institutional investors, particularly in North America and Europe. The raise will lift Viridis’ available funding to about AU$76 million when combined with existing cash and a binding investment agreement, significantly strengthening its balance sheet as it advances the Colossus Rare Earth Project toward a final investment decision expected in 2026.

Proceeds will be used to accelerate critical path activities at Colossus, including placing purchase orders for long lead items from mid-2026, awarding an EPCM contract, operating a mixed rare earth carbonate demonstration plant, and completing a definitive feasibility study and environmental approvals. Together with recent progress on environmental licensing and a project debt framework supported by multiple export credit agencies, the funding positions Viridis to fast-track project execution, de-risk its route to first production, and reinforce its strategic role as an emerging Western source of rare earth supply.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VMM) stock is a Buy with a A$4.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited stock, see the AU:VMM Stock Forecast page.
