Have Challenger Exploration's shares ever split?

Challenger Exploration's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 30 April 2019. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Challenger Exploration shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Challenger Exploration shares which in turn could have impacted Challenger Exploration's share price.
