Exploration company Carnaby Resources (CNB) has frozen its stock as it gets ready to tap shareholders for fresh capital.

At this stage, it’s unclear how much Carnaby wants to raise, how it’ll procure the funds, or what the money will be used for.

But, the company said it expects its shares to remain locked up in a trading halt until Wednesday, September 9.

The capital raise comes as Carnaby focuses in on exploration work at its Strelley Project in WA’s Pilbara region.

The company has an 8500-metre aircore drilling program planned for the site, with work slated to begin next month.

It’s also planning to undertake an aeromagnetic survey at the site during October, with reverse circulation drilling planned for November.

Meantime, the company told investors it was “well funded” in a recent presentation, tabling $2.8 million worth of cash in the bank.

If it’s well supported, today’s capital raise will strengthen Carnaby’s balance sheet even further.

Shares in Carnaby Resources last traded for 36.5 cents each on Friday, September 4.
