The De Grey Mining Limited (ASX: DEG) share price has fallen 13.84% to 68 cents per share in today's trade, putting its share price losses at 18.07% since Friday morning.

The 6th resolution related to granting performance rights to director, Mr Glenn Jardine and resolutions 7 to 11 were related to granting $414,000 worth of zero price options to the company's directors. These resolutions were also passed by shareholders.
