Funds will be directed to drilling programmes at the Ada Ann prospect at the Bonnie Vale project, near Coolgardie, where a successful RC drill programme carried out in Q4 2024 extended gold mineralisation over a 225m strike length, remaining open to the north, south and at depth.
Forrestania Resources’ Chairman John Hannaford commented:
"We are very pleased to welcome Daniel Raihani as a substantial shareholder in the Company, who’s interests will hold over 7% interest following the issue of Tranche 2 of the raising. Mr Raihani has an impressive record of shareholder wealth creation through his existing gold-focussed investments and with his private interests. To complete this placement above the recent share price in the current environment is a strong signal of support for the Company’s projects and gold exploration strategy. Alongside continued support from several of our major shareholders we are very aligned on the path forward as we progress gold exploration programmes across our portfolio.”
