Westar Resources Ltd. has notified the ASX of its intention to issue up to 250,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares under a proposed placement or similar capital-raising structure. The new securities are expected to be issued on 17 April 2026, signalling a significant equity raising that could support future exploration and development activities while diluting existing shareholders’ stakes.
