USE OF FUNDS TO BE RAISED FROM THE SPP
Funds raised will be used primarily to advance exploration for rare elements in pegmatites, base metals and/or gold mineralisation at the Bromus South, Barlee, Wongan Hills and North Tuckabianna projects in WA, each of which has drill-ready targets - as outlined in the company’s most recent Investor Presentations (ASX: CUL; 28-6-2023 and 31-8-2023). Funds will also provide working capital and advance other projects. Naturally, the level of funding received will dictate the scope of exploration activities achievable.
Commenting on the Company’s offer to shareholders, Chairman John Horsburgh said:
“In recent publications, including the Company’s 2023 Annual Report and various ASX Announcements, we have outlined our Company’s project status and plans going forward. Copies of company announcements to the ASX and the latest Power Point Presentation may be found on our website: www.cullenresources.com.au.”
Planned drilling programs offer prime opportunities for the discovery of lithium-in-pegmatites, base metals and/or gold, with funds raised to be used to test several targets. In addition, Joint Venture Partners, Rox Resources Limited, Lachlan Star and Capella Minerals, have exploration prospects across the Mt Eureka, Killaloe and Finnish Projects respectively (see ASX: CUL; 27-9-2023).
OFFER DOCUMENT
The SPP Offer Document and Application Form will be forwarded to shareholders by 26 October 2023.
