Entitlement and shortfall offers drew applications for 800.8m shares, raising $1.60m at $0.002 against the up to $1.9m sought. Shares and options are due to be issued on 1 November 2024. With the $1.34m placement, total is about $2.9m.
What it means for a shareholder
801m new shares at about A$0.002 to raise about A$1.6m. That's 22% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 22% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (500,500 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0174% to 0.0136% of the company. To keep it you'd need 139,167 more shares - about A$278 at the issue price.
Reminder that the entitlement offer closes 25 October, with Board and management taking up most or all of their entitlements. LF-06 is drilling at 226m. The remaining wells are due to be on production within four to six weeks.
LF-05 reached 480m with about 60m of net coal, as expected and consistent with the three existing wells, drilled without problems. LF-06 started 20 October. The new wells are scheduled to be on production in late November 2024.
Entitlement offer close extended three days to 25 October 2024. Directors and Australian management take 50% of fees in shares for six months, saving about $250,000 cash, and the company targets roughly 30% lower operating costs. Director share issue needs shareholder approval.
LF-05 has set surface casing at 261m and is drilling into the upper coal seam, expected at about 278m with total depth near 480m. LF-04 follows. Also announces an investor webinar on 16 October. No result yet.
