The offer was made on the basis of seven new shares for every 15 shares held, at an issue price of 25c each, with one free attaching option, exercisable at 50c each and expiring in June 2022.

Co-lead manager to the offer, Sprott Private Wealth, subsequently agreed to seek and place the shortfall of 40.92-million shares and 40.92-million options, representing around A$10.2-million.

The shortfall placement was well supported, and a further A$8-million was raised.
