• Resouro has already secured CA$1.86 million in gross proceeds from the first closing after issuing 7.44 million common shares at CA$0.25 each, with a further closing expected shortly.
• Fresh funding is planned for environmental activities associated with Tiros as the company works towards the project's Preliminary Feasibility Study, with part of the proceeds retained for general working capital.

Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. (ASX: RAU); (TSX-V: RSM) is a Canadian mineral explorer and developer building a portfolio of Brazilian resource assets. The Company's portfolio is anchored by the Tiros Titanium and Rare Earth Elements Project in Minas Gerais and is complemented by the Novo Mundo Gold Project in Mato Grosso.Higher Investor Interest Expands the FinancingResouro has increased the scale of its non-brokered financing after demand allowed management to pursue more capital than initially planned. The earlier proposal sought CA$2.0 million from the sale of 8.0 million common shares. The revised transaction retains the CA$0.25 subscription price but increases the potential issuance to 10.0 million shares, taking the maximum gross funding to CA$2.5 million. This additional CA$500,000 of potential funding gives the company a larger pool of capital for the upcoming work at Tiros without changing the price paid by participating investors. Acceptance of the enlarged transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange is still required.First Closing Secures Most of the Original Funding TargetThe initial closing has brought CA$1.86 million into Resouro through the sale of 7.44 million shares. Each share was issued at CA$0.25, consistent with the terms established for the broader financing. The amount secured at this stage is equivalent to 93% of the company's original CA$2.0 million target and approximately 74% of the revised CA$2.5 million maximum. Resouro expects to issue the remaining securities shortly and intends to provide the final details through a separate announcement. A CA$4,500 cash finder's fee is also payable in connection with the transaction.Environmental Work Becomes the Immediate Funding PriorityThe financing has a defined role in the next stage of Tiros. Resouro plans to direct net proceeds towards the project's environmental program, which management identifies as an essential activity ahead of the Preliminary Feasibility Study. The remaining capital will provide general working capital for the business. By directing new funding towards this workstream, the company is addressing an important component of the technical and regulatory preparation required as Tiros progresses beyond its current evaluation phase.Tiros Provides the Foundation for Resouro’s Brazilian StrategyLocated in Minas Gerais, Tiros combines titanium and rare earth element mineralisation within a landholding consisting of 28 mineral concessions and approximately 497 square kilometres. The asset has already reached a stage where a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate has been established, while a Preliminary Economic Assessment has examined a starter operation. The latest financing therefore arrives as Resouro begins directing greater attention towards the environmental and study work needed for the project's next phase. Outside Tiros, the company retains exposure to gold through the Novo Mundo project in Mato Grosso.Placement Structure Keeps Related Parties Outside the TransactionResouro is undertaking the financing within its existing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and neither related parties nor their associates are participating. Shares issued through the offering are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory restriction from their respective issuance dates under Canadian securities requirements and TSX Venture Exchange policies. The financing also remains conditional on the necessary regulatory clearances, including final TSX Venture Exchange approval. These conditions mean the announced CA$2.5 million represents the maximum intended size of the transaction rather than proceeds that have already been received in full.Additional Capital Could Maintain Momentum at TirosThe enlarged financing gives Resouro scope to secure CA$500,000 more than originally proposed while preserving the CA$0.25 share price. More importantly, CA$1.86 million has already been raised through the first closing, giving the company capital to begin supporting its stated priorities while it works towards completing the balance of the transaction. For Tiros, the key significance lies in where that money is intended to go: environmental work connected with the project's progression towards a Preliminary Feasibility Study. Completion of the remaining placement and advancement of this program will therefore be important near-term indicators of Resouro's ability to maintain development momentum.Note- All data presented is based on information available at the time of writing.Disclaimer for Kapitales ResearchThe materials provided by Kapitales Research, including articles, news, data, reports, opinions, images, charts, and videos ("Content"), are intended for personal, non-commercial use only.
