Rare Earths Americas Inc. has kicked off an initial public offering proposing to sell about 2.8 million shares of its common stock, with the company setting an anticipated price band of $17.00 to $19.00 per share.
The company has provided the underwriting group with a 30-day option to acquire up to an additional 0.4 million shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts. Rare Earths Americas intends to have its common stock trade on NYSE American under the ticker symbol "REA."
Planned use of proceeds
Rare Earths Americas said it will apply the net proceeds from the offering to support a range of activities at its heavy rare earths projects in the United States and Brazil. Specifically, funds are to be used for land acquisition and option payments, drilling programs, metallurgical test work, permitting and the preparation of technical reports at the Shiloh Project.
Additional proceeds are slated to back exploration and evaluation work, land consolidation, metallurgy efforts, engineering and permitting studies at the Alpha and Constellation Projects. The company also plans to assess other exploration prospects, including Homer and Liberty Peak, and use any remaining funds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Underwriting team
Cantor is serving as lead book-running manager on the offering, with Stifel named as a book-running manager. Canaccord Genuity and B. Riley Securities are listed as co-managers for the proposed offering.
This filing outlines the company's financing intentions and the deployment of capital across multiple development and exploration priorities.
