Two days after the $3.55 deal, on Oct 15, 2025 the company agreed to a second private placement through Maxim. It covers 2,661,764 shares at $5.10 and pre-funded warrants for 5,181,374 shares at $5.0999 with a $0.0001 exercise price. By our arithmetic that is roughly $40 million gross, an inference since the filing states no total. Proceeds are for critical mineral processing including coal waste extraction, and general purposes. Buyers again get a 12-month right to join up to 30% of future financings, and a resale registration is due within 10 days of closing. This adds about 7.8 million more shares or share equivalents on top of the earlier placement.
What it means for a shareholder
2.7m new shares at US$5.10 to raise about US$13.6m. That's 3.0% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.0% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (196 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000228% to 0.000221% of the company. To keep it you'd need 6 more shares - about US$31 at the issue price.
This amended filing restates the Oct 13, 2025 $3.55 private placement of 9,480,282 shares with the blanks filled in and more terms. Proceeds are now earmarked for domestic critical mineral processing, including coal waste extraction and a 10k MT magnet manufacturing facility, plus general purposes. Buyers get the right to join up to 30% of any new equity financing over the next 12 months. The company must file a resale registration within 15 days of closing. Maxim gets expense reimbursement of up to $100,000, tail fees, and a 6-month first-refusal right on future financings. The company is also barred from new share issuances for 60 days.
