ASX RELEASE 26 March 2012 ASX Code: PMQ
Acquisition of Tenement & Termination of Farm-In Agreement
Key Points
-
Planet Metals Limited (ASX Code: PMQ) is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Callabonna Uranium Limited (ASX Code: CUU) to purchase 100% of the tenement EPM 17945 (Oak River) in North Queensland for $65,000 cash.
-
The Oak River tenement is contiguous to Planet’s existing Mount Borium gold project. This acquisition provides the Company with a significant holding in this prospective region, located between the historic Kidston gold (>3 million oz gold) and Einasleigh copper mines.
-
The Oak River tenement was one of three tenements subject to a farm-in agreement entered into last year (refer ASX release dated 15/9/11) whereby Planet was earning a 51% interest. Planet has now officially terminated this farm-in agreement. This was largely due to exploration results from the Torchlight gold project (within the Hatch tenement) not meeting our expectations.
-
The end-result of these negotiations is that Callabonna will maintain 100% interest in its two original Georgetown tenements (Hatch & Central), whereas Planet will have a 100% interest in Oak River, located near the township of Einasleigh.
-
Recent exploration data compilation has highlighted several areas of gold prospectivity within the Oak River tenement, which are yet to be followed-up. Most of the exploration undertaken on the tenement in recent years has mainly focused on the uranium potential, rather than gold. Planet intends to conduct a field exploration program next quarter.
-
Planet continues to aggressively pursue opportunities within the metals sector, both within and outside of Australia, primarily in gold and copper.
