The allotment was priced at 38.16p per share, based on a 10 day VWAP, in accordance with the terms of the subscription agreement. Following its additional investment, Newcrest will own 220,462,271 shares in SolGold, representing 14.54% of the enlarged share capital of the Company.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the new shares tom be admitted to AIM and admission is expected on or around 17 August 2017.
