Top movers on the ASX Monday 28 March 2022
Renergen (RLT) was the stand-out mover on the ASX today. Shares in the company rose 8.1% to $3.86.
This was off the back of a new deal with the United States.
The company has announced negotiations with the Central Energy Fund (CEF). Both parties agreed on a term sheet which, if binding agreements are executed within the stipulated period, will see the Central Energy Fund invest ZAR1 billion (AUD$91.3 million) into Tetra4 Proprietary Limited. The major investment will see CEF take a 10% stake in Tetra4.
"Renergen and the CEF's relationship goes back many years. Importantly, during this time Renergen has successfully grown Virginia in size and scale, highlighted by the growth of both of our helium and methane reserves, which have finally reached the critical mass to enjoy CEF's involvement," said Stefano Marani, CEO of Renergen.
"Today's investment commitment is a result of long-term discussions between CEF and Renergen. During this time, the CEF team has been amazing to deal with and I am very pleased to be able to welcome them as a major investor in our future."
"I along with the Renergen Board and management team look forward to building on the strong strategic partnership with CEF as we embark on Phase 1 operations in April and establishing Virginia as a significant domestic and global gas producer," he added.
Renergen is in the energy sector.
