The placement was fully underwritten by SG Securities (London) Ltd. The net proceeds after commission and out of pocket expenses amounted to £3.9m (A$10,009,615). Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange and to the Australian Stock Exchange for the new shares to be admitted to trading on the Alternative Investment Market and the Official List of the Australian Stock Exchange (respectively).

The monies raised are to be used to fund the further development of the Furtei sulphide mine and the associated work on the Geobiotics treatment, the fast-tracking of the feasibility study at Osilo and the exploration and drilling of other identified sites.
