Commenting on the sale, Force’s Managing Director Jason Brewer stated:
“ With our focus firmly fixed on exploration and development of our highly promising lithium projects in the Congo, the decision has been made to dispose of the Halls Peak Project, a non-core asset. Whilst I believe the Halls Peak Project has significant merit, with the opportunity we now have in Africa, we cannot afford any distraction from our plans to accelerate exploration and development activities at the Kitotolo and Kanuka Lithium Projects.
We have been actively seeking interest in the Halls Peak Project for in excess of nine months, and the proposal tabled by XS Resources represented the most attractive offer by some distance. We are keen to retain some interest in the Halls Peak Project given its potential and it is for this reason that we agreed for part of the proceeds to be in the form of equity in the acquiring entity - just as we have successfully done with our equity investment in Marquee Resources (ASX:MQR) and as we recently did with the Mt Adrah Gold Project.
We have a vested interest in the planned IPO of XS Resources performing well and to this extent we strongly support the role our Chief Financial Officer/Company Secretary Michael Fry will play as a director of XS Resources in assisting it to successfully complete its IPO and in the advancement of the Halls Peak Project in his capacity as a Director of XS Resources. It is to be noted that Michael Fry has played no role in the negotiation of terms for the acquisition of the Halls Peak Project either from a Force perspective or from an XS Resources perspective. ”
Should XS Resources complete an acquisition of Halls Peak Project tenements, this will enable Force to solely focus on the DRC and its lithium projects there. The Board and management of Force consider that should this eventuate, that this is a significant step forward and the best use of the Company’s financial and human resources.
