Because the shares were not admitted to quotation within the 3-month window while the company stayed suspended, shares issued under the prospectus (81.5m plus 53.7m on 30 April) are deemed void unless the Supreme Court extends the deadline. The company will apply to court.

30 Jan 2020capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
A 1-for-4 entitlement offer at 2 cents to raise up to about $2.04m, plus a placement of up to 50m shares at 2 cents for $1m. Funds go to Amersfoort exploration, meeting ASX requirements to lift the suspension, and working capital. Not underwritten; closes 27 February 2020.
What it means for a shareholder
50.0m new shares at A$0.020 to raise about A$1.0m. That's 11% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 11% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (50,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0123% to 0.0109% of the company. To keep it you'd need 6,126 more shares - about A$123 at the issue price.
