HISTORY
Stirling Petroleum N.L. was a Western Australian oil and gas exploration company. This 1979 certificate shows that it is a contributing ordinary share certificate issued from Perth with a Canberra branch register, typical of a junior resources company raising capital during the late-1970s exploration boom. Later records show the company remained in the resources sector, changed name to Stirling Resources N.L. on 4 October 1990, and much later passed through further name changes including E-Com Multi Limited, Rico Resources Limited, and Ochre Group Holdings Limited. This certificate comes from the company’s earlier, clearly petroleum-focused phase rather than from its later corporate transformations.
