Wishbone Gold
Plc
("Wishbone" or the
"Company")
Top-up placing to move
Mosquito Creek forward
Wishbone Gold Plc (AIM: WSBN, AQSE:
WSBN), is pleased to announce it has
raised £300,000 gross to one corporate investor at a price of 1.2
pence per share and will be issuing a total of 25,000,000 new
Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each (the "Ordinary
Shares").
This small placing will provide
additional working capital for the Company but importantly will
primarily be used to initiate exploration operations at the new
Mosquito Creek property in the Pilbara.
Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold's
Chairman, stated:
"When raising fresh equity the board
is mindful of dilution especially when share prices are depressed
but has decided to do this micro-placing to secure the exploration
funds needed for the recently acquired and very exciting Mosquito
Creek gold and lithium project in Western Australia. The summer
season, which is both hot and wet, is coming to an end in the
Pilbara and we are preparing to mobilise our exploration teams back
out into the field as the weather starts to cool down. We see
Mosquito Creek providing real value to Wishbone Gold shareholders
in 2024."
Application will be made for the
25,000,000 new Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari
passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue,
to be admitted to trading on AIM and the
AQSE Growth Market ("Admission"). Dealings are expected to commence
on or about 8 February 2024 and the issue is subject only to
Admission.
Total Voting Rights
The Company's total issued and
voting share capital upon admission of the new Ordinary Shares will
consist of 302,740,307 Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, securities of the
Company.
