Northstone Raises $2.37 Million in Share Placement
The oversubscribed placement will fund exploration at Northstone's Tlamino and Timok East projects in Serbia.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Investing
Northstone Resources raised $2.37 million before costs through an oversubscribed share placement, issuing 263,444,444 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.009 each. GBA Capital acted as Lead Manager for the placement.
Why it matters
The placement provides capital for Northstone to advance its gold-silver and copper exploration in Serbia, where the company holds advanced exploration and development assets. The issue price reflects a discount to recent trading, a common feature of placements of this kind.
The placement issued 263,444,444 shares at $0.009, a 10.0% discount to the $0.010 last traded price on 30 October 2026 and a 22.7% discount to the five-day VWAP. Director commitments of $240,000 remain subject to shareholder approval.

Timeline
30 October 2026: Last traded price of $0.010 per share used as the pricing reference.
December quarter of 2026: Targeted delivery of a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate for the Tlamino project.
20 January 2030: Expiry date of the attaching options.
Market Dynamics
Junior miners frequently raise equity at discounts to market before publishing a maiden JORC resource, a pattern that reflects the capital needs of early-stage exploration. Northstone's placement at a 10.0% discount to the last traded price follows that established pattern.
Shareholders in Northstone Resources will see their holdings diluted by the 263,444,444 new shares issued at $0.009. Investors who subscribe receive one attaching option for every two shares, exercisable at $0.02 until 20 January 2030, if shareholders approve.
The takeaway
Equity placements at a discount are a common way for junior miners to fund exploration before a resource is defined, so investors should weigh dilution against the timing of the first resource estimate. Watch for shareholder approval of the director commitments and attaching options.
What happens next
A maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate for the Tlamino Gold-Silver Project is targeted for the December quarter of 2026, after which scoping study activities will commence.
