Australasian Gold’s (A8G) securities have begun trading on the ASX, after the company successfully raised $5.5 million via an initial public offering (IPO).

The material stock was added to quotation earlier in the week on Tuesday, May 11, while its shares officially began being traded on Thursday, May 13.

A8G enters the ASX holding three differing gold assets across Australia, including the Fairview Gold Project, May Queen Gold Project and Mt Clermont Gold Project

Fairview is located in WA’s Pilbara region, and Australasian has an application for tenement still pending.

May Queen and Mt Clermont are both located in Queensland, and the company has stated both assets have significant potential.

The two Queensland-based assets will be explored first, with $1.82 million to be spend on May Queen and $1.3 million on Mt Clermont.
