Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX: RML) (“Resolution” or the “Company”) has delivered a major milestone, successfully raising A$20 million through an institutionally led placement to accelerate its United States critical minerals strategy. The capital raise marks a significant step forward for the Company as it advances its Horse Heaven Project and prepares for a potential NASDAQ listing.

Strong Institutional Backing Validates Strategy
The Company secured firm commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors, with the placement cornerstoned by Tribeca Investment Partners and L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund. This level of support underscores growing confidence in Resolution’s U.S.-focused critical minerals platform.
The placement was completed at $0.07 per share, representing a 6.3% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price (VWAP). Such pricing reflects strong demand and investor belief in the Company’s long-term growth potential.
Funds raised will directly support exploration drilling, metallurgical test work, and permitting activities across the Horse Heaven Project. These initiatives aim to unlock value across antimony, gold, silver, and tungsten assets.
Transformational Moment for the Company
Aharon Zaetz, Executive Director of the Company, highlighted the importance of this milestone:
“Following a highly successful drilling campaign last year, today’s successful capital raising marks a transformational milestone for the company as it is about to list on the NASDAQ as well as launch its second drill campaign in the coming weeks. Strong tailwinds from the critical minerals sector as well as the recent FAST-41 status is a further endorsement of the project’s quality and potential.”
This statement reflects the Company’s transition into a globally focused critical minerals player, supported by favourable geopolitical trends and increasing demand for secure supply chains.
Golden Gate Project Driving Growth
The Golden Gate target within the Horse Heaven Project continues to emerge as a large-scale gold system with multi-commodity potential. The Company will commence a 13,700-metre Phase 2 drilling program in May 2026, comprising up to 45 drill holes.
The program aims to define the scale of gold mineralisation and support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for Q1 2027.
Previous drilling results have already demonstrated strong potential, including:
- 253m at 1.5 g/t gold
- 197.5m at 1.26 g/t gold
- 265.2m at 0.6 g/t gold
- 240.8m at 0.64 g/t gold
In addition to gold, the upcoming drilling campaign will target tungsten mineralisation, reinforcing the project’s strategic importance.

Strategic U.S. Positioning Strengthens Outlook
Resolution has positioned itself uniquely within the United States critical minerals landscape. The Company recently acquired the Johnson Creek Tungsten & Antimony Mill, including infrastructure and ore stockpiles.
The broader Horse Heaven Project carries historical significance, having supplied critical minerals to the U.S. Government during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. Today, it is regaining prominence amid rising geopolitical tensions and supply chain concerns.
Notably, the Company has secured FAST-41 status from the White House, recognising Antimony Ridge as a strategically important project. This designation is expected to accelerate permitting timelines, including approvals for up to 250 drill holes and large-scale bulk sampling.
Metallurgical Breakthroughs and Ongoing Optimisation
The Company has achieved a major technical milestone by producing high-purity antimony trioxide at 99.38 wt%. This demonstrates its capability to process materials downstream, adding value beyond raw extraction.
Resolution continues to advance both pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical test work, with final optimisation results expected shortly. These advancements could significantly enhance project economics and commercial viability.
Board Strengthening Supports Growth Ambitions
The Company has also strengthened its leadership team, with Brett Lynch set to join as a Director. Lynch brings extensive experience, having scaled Sayona Mining from a micro-cap to a multi-billion-dollar company.
This appointment aligns with Resolution’s ambitions to grow into a globally recognised critical minerals producer.

Placement Structure and Timeline
The A$20 million placement will proceed in two tranches:
- Tranche 1: $9.213 million (settlement expected 29 April 2026)
- Tranche 2: $10.787 million (subject to shareholder approval)
Investors will receive one free attaching option for every three shares, exercisable at $0.10 and expiring in November 2029.

A key catalyst for Resolution is its anticipated NASDAQ listing. This move aims to:

- Align the Company with major critical minerals peers
This listing could significantly elevate Resolution’s global profile and funding capability.
