88 Energy ( (AU:88E) ) has shared an update.
88 Energy has raised approximately A$5 million through a heavily oversubscribed share placement to domestic and offshore institutional and sophisticated investors at A$0.029 per share. The strong demand reflects investor endorsement of the company’s sharpened Alaska-focused exploration strategy and the scale and quality of its expanded North Slope portfolio.
Proceeds will bolster the balance sheet and accelerate pre-drilling work for the Augusta-1 exploration well, including permitting, well planning and securing long-lead items and a drilling rig. Augusta-1, targeting stacked Ivishak and Kuparuk reservoirs with an estimated 64 MMbbls of gross unrisked prospective resources, is slated for a Q1 2027 spud and is positioned near existing fields, while a concurrent South Prudhoe farm-out process could further de-risk funding and enhance partnership optionality for stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:88E) stock is a Hold with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on 88 Energy stock, see the AU:88E Stock Forecast page.
