[Meantime Resources Plc (AIM: MTR)](https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/MTR/admission-to-aim-and-first-day-of-dealings/17832204)has commenced trading on AIM after completing a **£15 million fundraising** to finance its strategy of acquiring and developing mining assets. The company’s shares began trading at **8 am under the ticker MTR**, with an issue price of **£10 per share**.

Meantime raised the money through a combination of an institutional placing and direct subscriptions from members of its management team, non-executive directors and other investors. A total of **1,499,999 new shares and 1.5 million warrants** are being issued as part of the fundraising.

Following admission, Meantime has **1.5 million ordinary shares in issue**, giving it an initial market capitalisation of **£15 million at the issue price**. The company is initially classified as an **AIM investing company**, meaning it does not yet own an operating mining asset.

Its strategy is to acquire, develop and ultimately operate **precious and base metals projects**, initially concentrating on established mining jurisdictions across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia. Management intends to complete an acquisition within **18 months of admission**, after which Meantime expects to become an operating company.

The initial search will focus on **producing assets or development-stage projects with identified Mineral Resources** and a credible pathway towards operating cash flow within less than five years.

Management envisages that timeframe potentially comprising around **two to three years of evaluation and engineering studies followed by approximately two years of construction**.

**Martyn Konig, Non-Executive Chair of Meantime Resources, said: ***“We are excited to have successfully brought Meantime Resources to the market. We believe the listing and industry focused investor base will provide a platform from which we can execute our acquisition strategy while simultaneously raising the company’s profile and increasing access to the number of available acquisition opportunities.”*

**Martin Horgan, CEO of Meantime Resources, added:** *“We believe an opportunity exists to build a full life-cycle company focused on acquiring, developing and operating high-quality precious and base metals mining assets in established mining jurisdictions.  Initial work has been undertaken to identify and evaluate a pipeline of potential opportunities where we believe we will be able to apply our extensive collective experience to generate value.”*

For investors, the attraction is the unusually substantial **£15 million starting capital base** for a newly admitted mining investment vehicle.

The central risk is execution: Meantime currently has **no operating asset**, so value creation will depend heavily on the quality, price and financing structure of its first acquisition.

The next major catalyst will therefore be the identification and completion of a transaction capable of converting the company from a funded investment vehicle into an **operating precious or base metals business**.
