Capricorn Metals Enhances Gold Price Exposure with Strategic Hedging Closure

Capricorn Metals Ltd ( (AU:CMM) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Capricorn Metals Ltd has closed its remaining 55,000 ounces of gold hedging contracts, opting for a strategic equity transaction with Macquarie Bank Limited. This move increases Capricorn’s exposure to potential gold price increases while preserving cash reserves for its key projects, Karlawinda Expansion and Mt Gibson Gold Projects. The transaction involved issuing new shares to Macquarie, resulting in a modest dilution of 4.3% of existing shares. Additionally, Capricorn purchased gold put options to mitigate downside risk, allowing the company to benefit from potential gold price increases. This strategy is expected to enhance Capricorn’s revenue and cash flow in the coming years, without requiring further debt or mandatory hedging.
