88 Energy launches share placing to fund upcoming Alaska oil drilling

88 Energy aims to raise up to £2.62m (A$5.03m) via a share issue priced at A$0.029 per share (≈1.508p) to fund planned drilling activity in Alaska. The placement is a routine small-cap equity financing to cover near-term exploration spend and is unlikely to have material market-wide impact beyond potential modest dilution and stock movement.
