The placement is on a combined non-underwritten brokered basis. Orders have been received from investors to fully allocate the offering and the placement will utilise the company's available 15% placement capacity to issue the new shares without shareholder approval.

The funds will be used to advance the company's 93%-owned Sintoukola Potash Project on the Republic of Congo coastline.
