I've had it double sourced this afternoon that Paragon Diamonds (PRG) is arranging a placing. The company released its interim numbers this morning and confirmed its intention to buy the Mothae Kimberlite mine from Lucara Diamond Corporation. It is my understanding that the company will need £8million to finalise this deal, which it will not be able to cover fully through debt financing. There is also the small matter of the £500,000 loan Paragon needs to repay in the next two weeks as well as the money it needs to keep the PLC lights on.
