- This capital raise will be conducted via a non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer of fully paid ordinary shares.
- Eligible shareholders will be offered one new share for every one share held as at June 5, 2025.
- If the entitlement offer is fully subscribed, an additional 231,469,910 shares will be issued.

- The entitlement offer is not underwritten, and any shortfall will be dealt with by the company at its discretion.
Sentiment
Score: 6
Explanation: The announcement details a standard capital raise, which is positive for funding future operations, but the non-underwritten nature introduces a degree of risk regarding the full subscription.
Positives
- The equity raising provides a clear pathway to secure funding for the company's ongoing exploration activities.
- Shareholders who participate in the entitlement offer will retain their percentage ownership in the company.
- The issue of shares under the entitlement offer is not expected to have any material effect on the control of the company if all shareholders subscribe for their entitlements.
Negatives
- The entitlement offer is not underwritten, which introduces a risk that the full target amount of approximately $1,157,349 may not be raised.
- Any shortfall under the entitlement offer will be dealt with at the company's discretion, potentially leading to dilution for non-participating shareholders if new investors are brought in.
Risks
- The primary risk is that the entitlement offer is not underwritten, meaning there is no guarantee that the full target amount of approximately $1,157,349 will be successfully raised.
- Shareholders who do not exercise their options prior to the Record Date will not be able to participate in the entitlement offer.
- Non-participating shareholders may experience dilution of their ownership percentage if the offer is fully subscribed or if any shortfall is placed with new investors.
