The sale of a 400m wide strip of land totalling 1.35km[2] area of tenement E28/2600 crystallises significant value for BNR/MAT joint venture while preserving its Lake Rebecca land area and highlights the exploration potential of the project (Figure 2).

Importantly, it provides the BNR/MAT joint venture partners with significant exposure to AOP’s Rebecca Gold Project through the acquisition of a combined 4% interest in AOP via the issue of 10.75 million shares.
The consideration for the sale of the land parcel and relevant mining data comprises:
-
10.75 million AOP shares upfront (50% escrowed for 6 months and 50% escrowed for 12 months)
-
$250,000 in cash on satisfaction of certain conditions
-
$1.0M payable in cash or AOP shares at AOP’s election, on the earliest of the granting of a Mining Lease to AOP over the sale area or 24 months from signing
-
$1.0M payable in cash or AOP shares at AOP’s election, on the earliest of AOP’s decision to mine the Rebecca Deposit or 48 months from signing
Chairman of Bulletin and Matsa, Mr Paul Poli said “the sale of this small area of the BNR/MAT joint venture ground to Apollo provides a ‘win-win’ situation for both parties. Apollo can get on with progressing development of their Rebecca gold project without tenement boundary restrictions and BNR/MAT can continue to exploit the exploration potential of its ground now having illustrated value. It’s great that any success in Apollo will now reward both BNR/MAT through their shareholding in Apollo.”
Importantly, the sale allows BNR/MAT to continue their current planned exploration programs at the Lake Rebecca Project (Figures 1 and 2) fully funded.

As part of the sale, Matsa have agreed to give up their 1% royalty interest over the sale area but retains the royalty over the remainder of E28/2600. As part of the transaction Apollo will acquire first right of refusal over exploration licences E28/2600 and E28/2635 should Bulletin and Matsa look to dispose of any or all of their interest in these tenements.
Both Bulletin and Matsa will receive consideration from the sale in proportion to their interest in the tenement. By obtaining AOP shares both Bulletin and Matsa can benefit from any success Apollo achieves as it progresses its development and mining plans for its Rebecca project.
