6 May 2026capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor

Alma raised A$4.0M through a placement of 400M shares at 1.0c, a 16.7% discount to the last price. Directors' A$318k portion (31.8M shares) needs shareholder approval at a June EGM. Funds drilling and prefeasibility work, and Alma says it covers the spending needed to reach 70% of Briggs.

What it means for a shareholder

400m new shares at A$0.010 to raise about A$4.0m. That's 39% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 39% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (100,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.016% to 0.00974% of the company. To keep it you'd need 63,828 more shares - about A$638 at the issue price.
