Bellzone Mining announced on Tuesday that it had completed a US$133 million placement of 102 million ordinary shares. Canaccord Genuity Limited was the lead manager.

Bellzone, an AIM-listed company, is developing two iron ore and nickel/copper assets in Guinea, West Africa. The Kalia iron deposit, a 50mtpa iron ore operation, is the company’s flagship project.

“In 2010, a magnetite resource of 3.7 billion tonnes was established over 6km of the 19km Kalia I strike, ore body extrapolation has shown the potential for a 13 Billion tonne resource over the 39km banded iron strike of Kalia I and Kalia II. Bellzone has implemented an oxide development campaign which should deliver a maiden oxide JORC resource in Q1 2011. Bellzone’s partner China International Fund Limited (CIF) will fund and develop the rail and port infrastructure required to export the Kalia mine production.”
