To achieve this, it raised enough money to cover its debt and regain $50 million in working capital. With its current debt level estimated to be around $60 million, the company had to raise another $110 million, bringing its investment into its gold mining operations to around $300 million.Apex raising at fallen share price The Sydney Morning Herald, published: 23 September 2009.
