-
The Receiver of the PPCO fund and the Liquidator of the PPVA fund (Platinum) have advised this morning that they have completed their Due Diligence in respect of the royalty agreement and are satisfied with the results. Accordingly the Due Diligence precondition in this agreement has now been satisfied.
-
The Company will now progress the shareholders meeting to approve this transaction and associated matters.
-
The funding secured for the development of the BBM PCI Coal mine as detailed in the Company’s announcement of May 24, 2017 and the commencement of production from this project will fulfil the preconditions for commercial production required for the Debt to Royalty agreement to come into effect
