Oakdale Resources is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement with Africa Mineral Sands Pte Ltd to acquire up to a 51% interest in the Company. Africa Mineral Sands Pte Ltd owns 74% of Vast Mineral Sands (Pty) Ltd. Vast Mineral Sands (Pty) Ltd has the rights to 100% of an extensive heavy mineral sand asset, with contained residual diamonds, located on the Alexkor SOC Limited (Alexkor) mining lease area in North-West South Africa.
Alexkor SOC Limited has been actively mining diamonds on the mining lease area in North-West South Africa since 1928 and the waste material has been discarded on large coarse tailing dumps and slime dams. The dumps and sands on the Alexkor mining lease area contain zircon, rutile, monazite, ilmenite and magnetite, which will be re processed by Vast Mineral sands (Pty) Ltd.
Prior to completing the proposed transaction Oakdale Resources will undertake all necessary due diligence and other enquiries into the VAST Mineral Sands Project and obtain independent valuations and an Independent Experts Report on the project to determine the appropriate price for the acquisition of the 51% interest and whether it wishes to proceed and complete the acquisition.
In the event, following completion of all necessary due diligence and other enquiries and the preparation of an Independent Experts Report into the vast Mineral Sands project by Oakdale Resources the parties are not able to agree on a price and terms for the acquisition of the 51% interest in AMS (having negotiated in good faith and acting reasonably), the transaction will not proceed and the Option right held by Oakdale Resources will terminate. There will then be no further obligations in relation to the proposed transaction on either of the parties
Oakdale Resources has reviewed a large numbers of potential projects over the past 12-18 months to provide additional scale to the Company and to be developed alongside the its existing Oakdale Graphite Project on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
The Company has focused on locating a significant project that it believes will deliver long term value to Oakdale Resources shareholders and believes the VAST heavy mineral sand assets have the potential to be that project and achieve long term sustainable value for Oakdale Resources shareholders
The Company will provide a further update to shareholders on the proposed transaction when the Independent Experts Report and other required documentation is completed
