Perth-based gold developer GRD (NZSE: GRD) has announced a 1 for 10 rights issue and a private placement of 20 million shares, with some of the funds earmarked to develop the company's gold project at Reefton.

The company says the private placement to clients of Euroz Securities was at a price of A$1.17 per share to raise A$23.4 million. The shares are expected to be issued on April 18.

The 1 for 10 renounceable entitlements issue at A$1.00 per share will raise up to A$17.5 million. GRD says the issue will be fully underwritten by Euroz Securities and bring the total capital raised to A$40.9 million. Record date is scheduled for April 17.

The company says the new funds will be used to develop its Reefton Gold Project on the South Island's west coast and will also be available for the group's general working capital needs.

A prospectus for the issue is expected to be available by April 8. The shares under the private placement will not participate in the entitlements issue.
