Cygnus raises $18.3m to accelerate resource growth and mining studies
The raising follows outstanding drilling results at the flagship Corner Bay deposit and Golden Eye prospect, which both offer substantial upside TORONTO and PERTH, Australia, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Highlights Cygnus has received firm commitments totalling A$18.3m via a share placement to institutional and sophisticated investors The Placement was priced at A$0.086 per share, being an 8.5% discount to the last sale price of A$0.094 The Placement was extremely well-supported with strong demand from existing and new investors, particularly North American investors, resulting in applications being scaled back The Placement will be split into two tranches: Tranche 1 – unconditional tranche to raise approximately A$18.2m; and Tranche 2 – A$0.1m tranche to a director, subject to shareholder approval Following a highly successful drilling campaign at the flagship Corner Bay deposit and the identification of high-grade gold/copper at the new Golden Eye prospect, the Company is planning a Resource update next quarter Funds from the Placement will be used for Resource growth, Resource conversion, exploration of multiple prospects, permitting and advancing studies Canaccord Genuity and Euroz Hartleys acted as Joint Lead Managers to the Placement. Cygnus Managing Director David Southam said: 'We have been generating outstanding results at Chibougamau and the proceeds of this raising will enable us to unlock the value much faster.'There is clearly immense scope to grow and upgrade the project's resource on the back of Corner Bay and Golden Eye. Given this potential, we want to move as quickly as possible on the exploration front and advance our study work at the same time.'This comes against a backdrop of increased M&A activity in the copper space which demonstrates that finding high-grade copper/gold projects with infrastructure in mining friendly jurisdictions are rare – we just happen to have one of the best'. Cygnus Metals Limited (ASX:CY5) is pleased to advise that it has received commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors to raise A$18.3 million (before costs) through the issue of 212,790,697 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ('Shares') at an issue price of A$0.086 per Share ('Placement'). Pro-forma cash at bank at 30 June 2025 is forecast to be approximately A$23.7m (before Placement costs). Use of funds Proceeds of the Placement are planned to be used at the Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project to cover exploration, resource growth, resource conversion, permitting and advancing studies from the preliminary economic assessment ('PEA') previously completed by Doré Copper Mining Corp. in 2022. Other uses include general working capital and costs associated with the Placement. Note: Cygnus cautions that the PEA is a preliminary technical, conceptual and economic study undertaken by Doré of the initial evaluation and potential development of the Chibougamau Project. It is at scoping study level only, which is based on a lower level of technical assessment that is not sufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves and is inherently uncertain. The production targets and forecast financial information disclosed in the PEA are underpinned by Measured Mineral Resources (approximately 1.17%), Indicated Mineral Resources (approximately 32.10%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (approximately 66.73%). However, Cygnus is not able to disclose the outcomes of the PEA as the significant proportion of Inferred Resources included in the Life of Mine means that pursuant to ASX and ASIC guidance there is not considered to be sufficiently reasonable grounds for the production targets and forecast financial information disclosed in the PEA. Accordingly, Cygnus is not disclosing the production targets and forecast financial information reported in the PEA and cautions investors against making investment decisions based on such targets and forecasts. Placement Cygnus will undertake the Placement in two tranches: Tranche 1 of 211,627,907 Shares ('Tranche 1 Shares') will be conducted using the Company's existing capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (126,025,591) and 7.1A (84,925,316) to raise a total of A$18,200,000 (before costs), with settlement expected to occur on 26 June 2025. The first tranche is not subject to shareholder approval. Tranche 2 of 1,162,790 Shares ('Tranche 2 Shares') will be issued to Non-Executive Director Raymond Shorrocks or his nominees, subject to shareholder approval, to raise up to an additional A$100,000 (before costs). The second tranche is conditional and will be subject to shareholder approval at a forthcoming General Meeting expected to be held in August 2025. The issue price represents a discount of 8.5% to the last closing price of A$0.094 on Tuesday, 17 June 2025 and an 11.1% discount to the 15-day VWAP of A$0.097.

On June 9, Canaccord Genuity analyst William Plovanic reaffirmed a Buy rating on TransMedics Group Inc. (NASDAQ:TMDX) with an unchanged price target of $129.

At the centre of the story is the National OCS Program (NOP), which now drives nearly all company revenue, enabling TransMedics to offer a full-service, end-to-end transplant logistics and technology solution. This model has not only boosted transplant volumes but also established a critical advantage that competitors have yet to replicate. The company is targeting $1.2 billion in revenue and a 30% operating margin by 2028, driven by the expanded adoption of its Organ Care System and the upcoming next-generation platforms. Notably, its leadership in the DCD (donation after circulatory death) heart category, which now makes up about half of all U.S. heart donors, reflects its role in expanding the donor pool.

Archer Aviation Stock (ACHR) Slips 14%, Yet Analyst Expects 30%+ Upside on eVTOL Plans
Archer Aviation (ACHR) stock took a sharp hit on Friday, with shares sliding 14% after the company announced an $850 million stock offering priced at $10 per share. The deal is expected to bring in $817.1 million in net proceeds and is set to close on June 16, 2025. While the fresh capital will help fuel Archer's growth and aircraft certification efforts, the share dilution clearly weighed on investor sentiment. In response to the funding news, Canaccord Genuity analyst Austin Moeller reaffirmed his Buy rating on Archer but trimmed the price target slightly from $13.50 to $13.00. The new price target implies over 30% upside potential. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter The announcement comes on the heels of new executive orders from President Donald Trump to implement an eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) in the United States. This initiative aims to speed up the rollout of eVTOL aircraft in the U.S. Analyst Backs Archer's eIPP Bid Moeller called the $850 million raise an important move to help Archer take part in the eIPP. This new U.S. government program will support five electric aircraft projects, with the goal of getting them ready to operate before the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. According to the analyst, Archer's quick action to raise funds shows its clear intent to take part in this eIPP initiative. He believes this extra capital will help the company speed up production and move through the aircraft certification process—both of which are crucial for meeting the program's tight timeline. With this funding round, Archer's total cash balance is expected to rise to around $1.8 billion, based on its first-quarter 2025 figures and past fundraises. Notably, Archer ended the quarter with $1.03 billion in cash and equivalents. Moeller added that this figure does not include $47.5 million available through its at-the-market (ATM) program or up to $400 million in future support from Stellantis, which is expected to help expand production of the Midnight aircraft in Georgia. Moeller believes Archer's strong financial base gives it a clear edge over its rivals. The Department of Transportation has 180 days to choose five aircraft designs for the eIPP, and Moeller sees Archer as a top contender. In his view, Archer stands out as one of the two leading eVTOL developers in the U.S. Is ACHR Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? ACHR stock price target of $11.75 implies about 17.62% upside potential.
