The proposed issue of 430 Million ordinary shares will equate to 19.85% of issued capital of the Company. Hence, the Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company, at the same time, also completed capital raising via Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) and raised $399,000.A total of 199.5 Million ordinary shares were issued under SPP at an issue price of $0.002 per share.
