Participation in the SPP is optional and is open to eligible shareholders who are holders of shares on the record date of 5.00pm AWST on October 11, 2024, with a registered address on the register in Australia or New Zealand.

Use of funds
Forrestania intends to follow up promising drilling results from the Bonnie Vale Project, which included grades up to 7 metres at 5 g/t gold, 6 metres at 6.5 g/t and 16 metres at 2.6 g/t from between 4 and 24 metres of depth.
The project has also historically generated soil samples of up to 49 g/t gold in geochemical drilling, adding another layer of prospectivity.
On launching the placement and SPP, Forrestania chair and CEO John Hannaford said: “The market support for the capital raising gives the company a runway to accelerate exploration programs at our highly prospective Bonnie Vale Project starting with the Ada Ann drilling to be followed by regional and follow-up drill programs at this highly prospective gold project.
“This sets the company up for several potential re-rate opportunities in a very bullish gold market.
“We look forward to bringing current and new investors along for the journey.”
