Silver explorer Thomson Resources (ASX:TMZ) plummeted after announcing plans to raise up to $1.74m at an almost 90% discount to the last share price. Unheard of.

TMZ executive chairman David Williams has also resigned “due to personal reasons”, effective immediately.

Gold producer Pantoro (ASX:PNR) is also raising $75m via placement at 6c per share to support its merger with Tulla Resources (ASX:TUL).

The merger, before the impact of the capital raising, will result in PNR shareholders owning ~51.5% and TUL shareholders owning ~48.5% of PNR’s shares.

PNR last raised $28.5m at 14.5c per share in October last year.
