“The planned farm-out process has now been formally launched,” said JOG today in a statement.
“The company confirms that it is in discussions regarding a fundraising of between £10 to £15 million.
“The net proceeds of such a potential fundraise would be utilised to maintain momentum for the next phase of workstreams on the project and augment the company’s existing cash reserves during farm-out discussions.
“There can be no certainty that any funds will be raised by the company.”
