ASX Announcement

CLASSIC MINERALS PURCHASES FORRESTANIA TENEMENTS

Highlights:

  • Classic Minerals has entered into an agreement with Reed Exploration to purchase the FGP Tenements.

  • The Company now has the right to explore for all minerals on the FGP Tenements.

CLASSIC MINERALS LIMITED (ASX:CLZ) ( Classic or Company ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement with Reed Exploration Pty Ltd ( Reed Exploration ), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed Hannans Ltd (ASX: HNR), to purchase the mining tenements comprising the Forrestania Gold Project (other than the tenements comprising the Kat Gap discovery, which are already owned by Classic) ( FGP Tenements ).

In 2017, Classic acquired 80% of the gold rights on the FGP Tenements from a third party, with Reed Exploration retaining its 20% interest in the gold rights associated with the FGP Tenements.

Classic has now agreed to purchase the FGP Tenements. The key terms of the agreement are:

  • Classic will pay $50,000 as a non-refundable deposit payable on execution of the binding tenement sale agreement;

  • Classic will, on or before 30 November 2023:

  • as consideration for the FGP Tenements:

    • pay Reed Exploration $200,000 as cash consideration; and

    • issue to Reed Exploration 500,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Classic at a deemed issue price of $0.001 per share; and

  • pay Reed Exploration $106,196 as reimbursement for amounts paid to maintain the FGP Tenements in good standing;

  • the parties will use all reasonable endeavours to seek and obtain all necessary approvals (including shareholder approvals) by no later than 30 November 2023; and

  • on satisfaction of the above conditions, title to the FGP Tenements will be transferred to Classic.

As a consequence of the acquisition of the FGP Tenements, Classic will have the rights to explore for gold and all other minerals, including lithium and nickel.

Chairman, John Lester said: “This indeed is an exciting opportunity for our Company. We now can proceed to exploit the gold resource on this tenement 100% instead of having only 80% of the gold rights. Dean Goodwin will also be able to explore for other minerals for the Company’s benefit. Congratulations to the entire management team.”
