GEO Exploration Limited
("GEO " or the "Company")
Capital Raise of £1,250,000
Key Highlights:
· £1.25 million raised before expenses via the placing of
694,444,444 new Ordinary Shares at 0.18 pence per share.
· Proceeds to fund exploration activities at the Gorge Project,
advance the next phase of Juno drilling campaign anticipated in early 2026,
support PEL 94 (Namibia) farm-out and related transaction activities, and
provide general working capital.
· Fundraise completed to support the maiden drilling programme at
Juno and recent encouraging exploration progress at the Gorge Project.
GEO Exploration Limited (LSE AIM: GEO) is pleased to announce that it has
successfully completed a capital raise (the "Fundraise"), raising £1.25
million before expenses through the placing of 694,444,444 new Ordinary Shares
at a price of 0.18 pence per share. Today's Issue Price represents a 21.7%
discount to the closing bid price of 0.23 pence per share on 15 December
2025.
The Fundraise was met with strong demand from investors reflecting growing
confidence in the Company's strategy and technical progress. Investor support
follows the successful completion of GEO's maiden drilling programme at the
Juno Project and recent encouraging exploration developments at the Gorge
Project, which together mark important milestones as the Company advances its
exploration portfolio across Australia.
The net proceeds of the Fundraise will be applied towards ongoing and planned
exploration activities at the Gorge Project, funding a follow-on drilling
campaign at the Juno Project anticipated in early 2026, providing sufficient
working capital to support the Company's expanding operational and corporate
requirements, and capitalising on opportunities at PEL 94 (Namibia), including
potential farm-out and related transaction costs, particularly in light of
increased industry activity in Namibia.
CMC Markets UK plc, trading as CMC CapX, acted as the Company's sole placing
agent.
Hamza Choudhry, Chief Financial Officer of GEO Exploration Limited, commented:
"We are very encouraged by the strong support from investors in this
fundraise, which reflects growing confidence in the progress the Company has
made across its portfolio and the opportunity ahead.
The Company is entering an exciting phase at the Juno Project with results
pending from the labs, alongside increasingly encouraging exploration signals
at the Gorge Project, including high-grade rock chips and the recovery of
large gold nuggets. In parallel, heightened industry interest in Namibia's
Walvis Basin following recent offshore developments with Chevron announcing
future drills has further sharpened focus on PEL 94.
With a strengthened balance sheet, GEO is well positioned to continue
advancing its assets in a disciplined manner, grow the business through
technical progress across multiple projects, and pursue opportunities that we
believe can deliver long-term value for shareholders.
As always, we thank all new and existing shareholders for their support as we
look forward to taking them with us on the journey ahead."
