An Australian mining exploration company is being advised on its initial public offering.
Firm: DLA Piper (Prospech Limited)
Value: $7.5 million
Area: Banking and finance
Key players: The DLA Piper team advising Prospech is led by head of corporate James Philips (pictured), with assistance from solicitor Rube Uthayakumar.
Deal significance: Prospech is an Australian mining exploration company with gold and silver projects in Slovakia.
The company has made an initial public offering of up to $7.5 million. It is seeking admission to the official list of the ASX. The closing date for the offer is 21 July.
The company’s market capitalisation is expected to be around $19.6 million once the offer is completed.

“Having established a strong local presence in a district in Slovakia steeped in mining history, this offering will enable our client to step up its exploration activities in its target areas.”
