TORONTO, Feb. 8 /CNW/ - Following an independent audit, SouthernEra announced today an updated platinum group metals ("PGM") resource of 15.9 million ounces at its 70.4% owned Messina project in South Africa, representing a 60% increase from previous estimates. Of this updated resource, approximately 8.2 million ounces are in the measured and indicated category contained in 41.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 6.1 grams per tonne "This offering will be used to maintain the momentum of Messina's project development as we complete the project's financing by purchasing additional shares from Messina's treasury thereby increasing SouthernEra's ownership in Messina," said Mr. Evans. "A primary objective for SouthernEra in the financing of the Messina project is to maximize the SouthernEra shareholder's participation in Messina's cash flow."
