17 Oct 2025capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

Two days after the $3.55 deal, on Oct 15, 2025 the company agreed to a second private placement through Maxim. It covers 2,661,764 shares at $5.10 and pre-funded warrants for 5,181,374 shares at $5.0999 with a $0.0001 exercise price. By our arithmetic that is roughly $40 million gross, an inference since the filing states no total. Proceeds are for critical mineral processing including coal waste extraction, and general purposes. Buyers again get a 12-month right to join up to 30% of future financings, and a resale registration is due within 10 days of closing. This adds about 7.8 million more shares or share equivalents on top of the earlier placement.

What it means for a shareholder

2.7m new shares at US$5.10 to raise about US$13.6m. That's 3.0% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.0% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (196 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000228% to 0.000221% of the company. To keep it you'd need 6 more shares - about US$31 at the issue price.

On Oct 13, 2025 the company agreed to sell 9,480,282 shares at $3.55 in a private placement, about $33.7 million before fees. Maxim Group was sole placement agent at a 7% cash fee, and proceeds were for working capital. The lock-up length and exhibit dates were still bracketed.

9 June 2021capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

The company agreed on June 7, 2021 to sell 8,600,000 Class A shares plus 5-year warrants for 4,300,000 more shares at $3.50 each, for $30.1 million in total. It was sold to investors through a registered direct offering, with Kingswood Capital Markets as placement agent at a 6% fee, and was expected to close around June 9. This is a further equity raise on top of the 2019-2020 raises and adds new shares and warrants for existing holders to absorb. The filing still flags substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
