Oar Raises $2.3M for Multi-Project Exploration Program
Highlights
-
Strong demand for $2.3m placement to underpin highly active second half of 2021 exploration program across multiple projects including:
-
Crown PGE Nickel-Copper Project, Julimar, Western Australia
-
Douglas Canyon Gold Project, Nevada
-
Gibraltar Kaolin-Halloysite Project, South Australia
-
Oar Resources Limited ( ASX: OAR ) or (the Company ) is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments for a share placement to raise up to $2.3 million at a price of 1.3 cents per share ( Placement ).
Funds will be used to continue to advance Oar’s core projects, led by the Crown PGE Nickel-Copper Project in the Julimar district in Western Australia.
The Company anticipates final granting of its Crown Project tenement (E70/5406), located west of Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN) Julimar Complex, and with this pending, the Company has strengthened its balance sheet to ensure it can hit the grounding running at Crown.
Oar will undertake a program of mapping, rock chip sampling, geochemical soil sampling, and subsequent maiden drilling planned for Crown, Oar is gearing up to undertake its first drilling at its Douglas Canyon Gold Project in Nevada, USA[i] , as well as continue its regional reconnaissance scale drilling at the promising Gibraltar Kaolin-Halloysite Project in South Australia.
Turnaround of assay results has been slower than expected for the Gibraltar Kaolin-Halloysite Project due to the complex process of the assays (3 different service providers), however the company expects to receive next round of results in the coming weeks.
Oar’s Executive Chairman, Chris Gale commented:
“The strong demand received for our capital raising was highly encouraging. We are very excited to be preparing for our first ground-based activities at Crown.”
“The discovery and value creation for Chalice shareholders through their Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE discovery is a remarkable success story which has opened up a new province in WA, and one in which we are very fortunate to have secured a permit 10kms west of the Gonneville discovery.”
“The recent geological interpretation carried out by Southern Geoscience identified 20 priority target areas for drilling. These targets cover a series of prominent magnetic structures similar to and extend from the Chalice Mining’s Julimar Complex, that have never been drill tested. We eagerly await final granting so our site team can commence their field-work to identify key drilling targets.”

He went on to say: “We are also very much looking forward to our first drilling at out Douglas Canyon property in Nevada in the coming months. The Nevada state is elephant country for world class gold deposits, and with a number of high-grade rock chips previously identified, we are highly encouraged by what we have observed to date”.
