Vedanta seeks $1 billion in upsized share placement
Vedanta is joining a slew of Indian companies tapping stock investors amid surging valuations and increasing demand for equity investments in the country.
Group Eleven Resources Corp. has updated the resource estimate for its 60%-owned Ballinalack zinc project. It hopes to develop the country’s next major zinc mine. (The remaining 30% of the project belongs to Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet Co.)
Ballinalack has a historic resource of 7.7 million tonnes grading 7.3% combined zinc and lead based on a 1991 report. Group Eleven has spent more than $30 million at the project to bring its resource estimate up to 43-101 standards.
The property has 43-101-compliant inferred resources of 5.4 million tonnes grading 7.6% zinc and 1.1% lead. The mineralization is near-surface, occurring from 10 to 300 metres below surface and open along and across strike. Assays for silver averaged 9.0 g/t.
Group Eleven based its estimate on 102 diamond drill holes totaling 26,042 metres. A 40- by 40-metre grid was employed.
