"We are grateful to our shareholders for their considerable support, which has enabled Chariot to deliver a further $2 million via this significantly oversubscribed Open Offer, bringing the total fundraise to $9 million gross. This is an exciting period for the Company, and we look forward to updating all our stakeholders on the imminent drilling campaign at Anchois, alongside progress across the wider Group, over the coming months."
