“We are encouraged by the strong support for this raising. Existing holders and new investors have endorsed our greenfield and brownfield exploration strategy as well as the proposed follow-on investment of $12 million in De Grey shares,” Executive Chairman Eduard Eshuys said.

“Across our investee companies and our own tenements over the next six months, DGO will have between eight to 12 drill rigs operating on a consistent basis,” he added.

DGO Gold has ended the day 7.73 per cent in the green with shares trading for $3.90 each in a $222.7 million market cap.
