Lightning Minerals Secures Funding to Advance Gold and Copper Growth Strategy

Lightning Minerals Limited (ASX: L1M) has successfully secured AU$1.85 million through a strongly supported capital raising, highlighting investor confidence in the company’s renewed focus on Australian gold and copper exploration. The placement attracted commitments from institutional, sophisticated, and professional investors and was completed at an issue price of AU$0.018 per share through a two-tranche structure.

The funding follows Lightning Minerals’ strategic reset announced in April 2026, which established the Mt Turner Gold Project in Queensland as its flagship asset and key growth driver. Proceeds from the placement will be used to accelerate exploration and drilling activities at Mt Turner, support soil sampling and target generation programs, advance exploration at the Warby and Boree Creek projects, and evaluate additional gold and copper opportunities across Australia.

Management believes the successful raising strengthens the company’s ability to progress Mt Turner toward resource definition while maintaining exposure to promising copper projects. The company expects a steady stream of exploration updates, drilling results, and project developments over the next year as it advances its growth strategy.
