Existing shareholders will have the right to subscribe for one option for every two shares held at an issue price of one cent per option.
Executive Chairmen Allan Kelly said “we have confirmed that the Gidji JV Project has the potential to host multiple new gold deposits in close proximity to existing mining and processing infrastructure.”
