ACTIVITIES RELATED TO PROPOSED TRANSACTION
In preparation for the proposed transaction, substantial works including technical, commercial, legal and environmental due diligence were undertaken on the Colomi Iron Ore project as a potential suitable acquisition target for the Company.
The Colomi Iron Ore project is located in north-east Brazil and contains a world scale magnetite Mineral Resource with the potential to produce a high-quality Blast Furnace (BF) and Direct Reduction Iron (DRI) grade concentrate.
Other activities undertaken in the December quarter included extensive and detailed communications with the ASX in relation to Listing Rules 1.1 condition 1 and 1.19. (Chapter 1 and 2) for re-listing, addressing and satisfying ASX queries relating to the re-listing requirements under Chapters 1 and 2.
They also included providing technical advice and the necessary documentation for the preparation of the Independent Technical Assessment Report (ITAR) and Independent Evaluation Report (IER) and drafting of Prospectus and Notice of Meeting (NOM) documentation.
The consideration for the transaction including the initial cash consideration, milestone share issue and future production royalties’ determination were negotiated with the owners of the Colomi Iron Project.
Pre-planning took place for the organisational structure and proposed staffing of the future Tombador business to ensure all regulatory requirements for business operations in Brazil would be compliant and established in advance of re-listing which is expected to be in early 2025.
Preliminary planning for study logistics and budget preparation for project scoping and prefeasibility studies were undertaken.
