Rimfire Pacific Mining (ASX:RIM) directors have continued to show their confidence in the company by participating in a non-renounceable 1:4 rights issue shortfall.

The shortfall issue follows the company’s non-renounceable rights issue earlier this month which raised $1.1 million.

Non-executive chairman Ian McCubbing and non-executive director Andrew Greville both participated in the shortfall, as approved by shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting on November 15, 2018.
