o ~25% premium to Barton’s 1 month (20 trading day) VWAP of $0.562 / share

Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon commented
“The success of this Placement is a strong endorsement of Barton’s low-dilution development strategy.
“Including this Placement, since our June 2021 IPO four years ago Barton has issued less than $13 million in new equity, while generating over $12m (net of costs) in additional non-dilutive funds through asset monetisation initiatives.
“The result has been significant progress and value creation on all fronts with minimal shareholder dilution, reflecting our team’s strong alignment with, and focus on preservation of value for, our existing shareholders.
.
“We are excited to be accelerating several value-add workstreams, including ‘Stage 1’ operations plans, Tunkillia long-lead Mining Lease and PFS programs including Reserve conversion drilling, and expedited drilling on our recent Tolmer high-grade gold and silver discoveries.
“We look forward to sharing many more updates soon.”
