He continues to work closely with GEO in advancing its gold projects. The net proceeds will support exploration and drilling at Gorge, further exploration at Juno, PEL 94 licence upkeep and work programme commitments, and general operational and corporate costs. Expenditure will continue to be prioritised in line with exploration results, operational requirements and available capital. The Placing was conducted by CMC Markets UK plc and SI Capital Limited, acting as the Company's joint brokers.

Their support is an encouraging endorsement of GEO's strategy and the opportunities across our portfolio, particularly our gold projects. With Gorge quickly becoming our flagship asset, we were also delighted that Callum Baxter and Tom Harris could engage directly with key investors and share their technical perspectives.

As part of our shareholder-focused strategy, we are also committed to giving eligible existing shareholders the opportunity to participate at the same price through the Retail Offer.
