The placement proceeds will be used, in part, to repay loans (including accrued interest and associated fees and expenses) due to Polo Resources Limited, to provide working capital to cater for business interruptions caused by flooding in Queensland and to meet the company's funding obligations for the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal prior to the project's financial close scheduled for April 2011.
The Blakes team was led by Simon Brown, with the assistance of Richard Flynn and Stephanie Papadopoulos.
