Gold explorer Alliance Resources has announced a partially underwritten non-renounceable one-for-two rights issue to raise up to $4.95 million.

Patersons Securities will underwrite the issue to $4 million.

Copper-zinc developer Venturex Resources has raised $3.65 million in an institutional placement at 22c per share.

Several new institutional and strategic investors will join the register.
