Sell down of Rookwood interest
Fitzroy Resources Limited (“Fitzroy”) is pleased to announce the sell down of its 100% owned Rookwood property in Queensland to Zenith Minerals Limited (“Zenith”). The terms of the sell down are described below.
The decision to sell Rookwood is consistent with Fitzroy’s change in focus toward US coking coal and the 2013 purchase of its Emmaus and Blackstone properties in West Virginia, USA. Fitzroy will continue to focus on its existing assets in the United States and the growth of its presence in that region.
Zenith Announcement
Zenith’s announcement with regard to the sell down of Rookwood, released today (7 July 2014), is available on the ASX website. Zenith calls the project ”Devlin Creek” rather than “Rookwood”, in reference to the deposit at Rookwood with a Mineral Resource.

-
An option exercise fee of $300k cash and 3 million ordinary Zenith Minerals Limited shares to acquire the remaining 49% equity,
-
If after 24 months Zenith decides at its absolute discretion not to purchase the remaining 49% equity, then:

The companies will either form a joint venture to progress the evaluation of the project with normal industry contribution and dilution clauses or
