A total of 5737 metres of aircore drilling was undertaken at the prospects with work continuously penetrating bedrock and testing prospective trends.

The funds were raised through the issue of 250 million shares to professional, institutional and sophisticated investors at 2.2 cents.
Once received, BAT used the money to undertake exploration on its Victorian project.
