Funds will be used to advance exploration and feasibility at the Company’s 100% owned flagship Elizabeth Creek

Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD, “Coda”, or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received firm
commitments to raise approximately $2.77 million (before costs) under a placement to professional, sophisticated, and
senior manager investors (“Placement”). The commitments comprise 30,727,000 new fully paid ordinary shares (“Shares”)
at $0.09 per Share, together with 15,363,500 unquoted attaching options exercisable at $0.15 each and expiring five (5)
years from date of issue (“Options”), to be issued on the basis of one (1) attaching Option for every two (2) Shares
subscribed for under the Placement. The Placement was very well supported with bids received exceeding the targeted
amount.
The proceeds of the Placement, together with the Company’s existing cash reserves, will be used for exploration planned
to expand the currently known resource base at Elizabeth Creek as well as to progress ongoing optimisation work. This
work has the potential to support further updates to the 100%-owned Elizabeth Creek Copper Project in South Australia,
while also providing additional working capital to advance commercialisation opportunities and funding options designed
to allow Coda to execute on its plans to advance the project through and beyond PFS.
Commenting on the capital raising, Coda’s Chair Mr Keith Jones said: “We are very pleased with the support received for
this private placement which has been undertaken primarily to existing, long-term, supportive shareholders of the
Company. It strengthens both our share register and balance sheet.
“Coda holds one of Australia’s largest undeveloped copper projects with excellent, approximate sedimentary exploration
targets and massive blue sky associated with the separate Emmie Deeps IOCG system.
“There is significantly improved sentiment in the international market for copper and we are entering what is forecast to
be a copper- bull market and period of supply deficit for copper.
“It is an exciting time for the Company as we continue to both expand and improve our project.”
