On a post consolidation basis the Company also intends to raise up to a further $5,000,000 by way of a private placement in addition to seeking a US$10,000,000 project loan facility, the proceeds of which would be used to complete the Selinsing Project acquisition, to commence an exploration program and to erect and commission a 400,000 tonnes per annum gold processing plant, designed to produce 40,000 ounces of gold per annum from the Selinsing Gold Mine.
