What ABx Group does

ABx Group Limited is developing the Deep Leads rare earths project in Tasmania and the ALCORE process, for which it is building a pilot plant.

Capital raising

In an ASX announcement dated 17 September 2026, ABx said it was raising about $4.1 million through a placement of about $2.1 million and a fully underwritten share purchase plan of $2.0 million. The placement involves about 67.7 million new shares at $0.031, an 18% discount to the 15-day VWAP of $0.0378, with about 33.8 million attaching Options exercisable at $0.046 for three years.

Strategic partner Good Importing International committed $1.0 million to the placement, and the board and management made binding commitments of $100,000, subject to Shareholder approval, and intend a further $60,000 in the share purchase plan. Proceeds will support the Deep Leads project, construction and commissioning of the ALCORE pilot plant, Working Capital and offer costs.

Sector context

Exploration-stage resource companies do not generate production revenue, and their share prices can move sharply on drilling results, funding news and Commodity sentiment.

Risks and uncertainties

Capital raisings issue new shares and options at a discount, which dilutes existing holders, and the company’s projects are at an early stage. The share price is about 2.2 cents. Closing prices on a single day are not the same as the 52-week high or low price, and a 52-week extreme does not indicate where a share price will move next.

Catalysts to watch

Items to watch include the share purchase plan outcome, shareholder approval of director participation, ALCORE pilot plant progress and Deep Leads results.

Closing perspective

ABx’s 17 September 2026 announcement set out a $4.1 million raising to fund its projects. Later updates will cover use of funds.
