Generation Mining Raises $240M to Advance Marathon Copper-Palladium…

Event summary

Generation Mining closed a $240M public offering and concurrent private placement on September 21, 2026.
The public offering raised $200M through 312,500,000 shares at $0.64 per share.
Canada Growth Fund invested $40M in a private placement and acquired an additional $49M worth of shares in the public offering.
CGF now owns 19.9% of Generation Mining's outstanding shares.
The proceeds will fund the development of the Marathon Copper-Palladium Project.

The big picture

This $240M capital raise positions Generation Mining to advance its Marathon Project, a significant copper-palladium deposit in Northwestern Ontario. The investment from Canada Growth Fund and the involvement of major underwriters signal strong institutional confidence in the project's long-term potential. The strategic offtake agreement with Glencore further de-risks the project by securing a domestic processing partner.
