Last week, movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc AMC purchased a major stake in Hycroft Mining Holding Corp HYMC.
AMC spent $27.9 million in cash for the deal and received roughly 23.4 million shares in the company.
Now, two weeks following the deal, AMC’s Hycroft mining company has raised a total of $195 million.
One of the world’s leading gold and silver investors, Eric Sprott has taken a large stake in Hycroft. Together, AMC and Sprott invested $56 million in Hycroft.
On Friday, AMC CEO Adam Aron announced in a tweet that $139 million had been raised in additional equity. On the same day, the stock soared almost 22% after hours when the announcement was made.
Replying to Aron’s tweet, a follower @NorcalSlider said, “Holy sh*t, that’s huge”.
Aron quickly responded to Norcal’s tweet talking about the skepticism about AMC’s investment in HYMC.
