CRG seeking $7.25m in private equity deal

[miningmx.com] – CENTRAL Rand Gold (CRG), a junior miner which is mining gold from some of Johannesburg’s oldest workings, is hopeful it can have a cash package of $7.25m approved this month in an effort to bolster production, said BDLive which cited company CEO, Johan du Toit.
