4 Mar 2016capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Key raised $700,000 by placing 175 million shares at $0.004 each to one sophisticated investor, lifting shares on issue from 722.36m to 897.36m (19.5% dilution). Funds go to Canning and Perth Basin work commitments, new ventures and working capital.
What it means for a shareholder
175m new shares at A$0.004 to raise about A$700,000. That's 20% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 20% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (250,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0346% to 0.0279% of the company. To keep it you'd need 60,565 more shares - about A$242 at the issue price.

9 June 2015well test result▼ BadMajor
The Dunnart-2 flow test found no commercial hydrocarbons at surface, so the well is decommissioned and the rig released. This resolves the main open thread, the test of the live oil shows seen in 2014. Key still considers EP437 prospective and is discussing Conder South and Wye Knot wells.

21 Apr 2015drilling scheduled● Neutral
