L&M Energy (LME) has raised $1.4 million through a share purchase plan in which 15 percent of the energy exploration company's shareholders participated.
LME raised $8.74m in July at the same price -- 11c per share -- through a private placement to institutional investors and "sophisticated" investors, the company said.
The company has now completed its $10m institutional placement and share purchase plan.
The money raised is being used for a pilot production facility at the 173 petajoule Ohai coal seam gas field in Southland, 65km northwest of Invercargill.
The company also wants to demonstrate the commercial viability of the field, where production is expected by the end of the year.
Shares in LME last traded yesterday at 12.7c, above the share purchase price.
