Lachlan Star in pre-open pending capital raising announcement

Gold producer Lachlan Star (ASX: LSA) has been granted a trading halt by the ASX pending a capital raising announcement, with the company's shares placed in pre-open.

Lachlan Star has not yet indicated where the potential funding injection will be allocated.

What is so interesting with the company at the moment is success on two fronts - being exploration and production.

Just a couple of weeks ago Lachlan Star delivered to the market a 20% boost in gold production at the CMD mine in Chile, along with some significant drill results.

The X-factor at the CMD mine for Lachlan Star is that the project adjoins the massive Teck Resources (NYSE: TCK) copper producing Andacollo mine.

With Lachlan Star already making significant broad copper discoveries, similar to those already mined next door by Teck - the future potential remains for some sort or ore processing agreement.
