Tempest Minerals Limited (ASX:TEM) has completed the placement of the shortfall resulting from its non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer, as announced by the company on 10 July.
The offer allowed the issuance of one new share for every five fully paid ordinary shares held at AU$0.008 per share, resulting in the issuance of 79,573,471 new shares. This placement has raised an additional AU$ 636,587, bringing the total funds raised through the rights issue to AU$ 830,602.
The company directors distributed the shortfall to several interested parties based on their discretion. This targeted allocation approach has ensured that the shortfall was efficiently absorbed, maximising the benefit of the capital raised for the company's ongoing initiatives.
Tempest is focused on advancing exploration activities in Western Australia, with planned drilling at the Remorse Target set to commence shortly.
Tempest made notable progress across its Yagloo and FiveWheels projects in the June quarter. Additionally, the partial sale of the Tolu investment, combined with the successful entitlement issue, has provided crucial funds for exploration.
At the Yalgoo project, the drill program at the Remorse target will involve up to 5,000 meters of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, with all necessary permits in place. Extensional geochemistry sampling at Remorse has been completed. For the FiveWheels project, a comprehensive heritage and exploration plan has been finalised, and an EIS grant has been secured to cover 50% of the upcoming geophysical survey costs.
TEM shares traded at AU$0.010 at the time of writing on 7 August 2024.
