KGL Resources (ASX:KGL) is raising up to AU$7.7 million via a 1-for-8 pro-rata traditional non-renounceable entitlement offer, according to a Thursday filing with the Australian bourse.

The non-underwritten offer is subject to at least AU$3 million in subscription. KGL's major shareholder, KMP Investment, committed to invest AU$2.7 million, representing its full entitlement.

Proceeds will be used to support the construction of the Jervois project in the Northern Territory.
