In April, the group said it planned to raise up to C$1.5 million via the placing and that the funds will be used for restarting waterfloods and bringing additional shut-in wells on stream for added production.

Each unit consists of one share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one further share at an exercise price of C$0.25 each for 24 months from closing.

Management and insiders took part in the offering, by contributing a total of $185,300 to acquire over 1.23 million units, the group said in the statement.

Permex is a junior oil and gas company with assets and operations across in west Texas and New Mexico. The company recently began trading on the OTCQB Market in the US.
