Prior to the recent placement and entitlement issue, this company had a market cap of somewhere near $6M. So to set out and raise $4M and increase the shares on issue by nearly two thirds in one hit is is a big ask. Particularly when the market has not really sat up and taken much notice of the project yet. Anyone can see that.
They could have easily lowered their sights and raised half the amount. You can get a lot of drilling done with a couple of million cash.
So if this fund raising falls into a hole, I place the outcome only at one spot and that is with the board and their broker/advisors.
I did not take up my entitlement as quite simply I don't want to put any more cash in......

Well you might - but the fault actually lies with the shareholders. An exploration company cannot proceed without funds and the shareholders have decided to punish themselves.
The company at least provided the shareholders with a chance to be a success.
Hopefully the management will at least try a placement raise at something like 6c which will certainly knock the SP around a lot more and also dilute the shareholders hugely - but the alternative is probably to fold and everyone loses everything.
There is no doubt the shareholders are to blame because this company has the assets to succeed.
