Cullen Resources Limited Farm-out – August 2019
- If a Participant’s interest falls to 10% or less, that Participant’s interest will be converted to a Net Smelter Return Royalty of 1% on those Cullen tenements already subject to a royalty, and 2.5% on the balance of the Joint Venture Tenements.
Cullen’s Managing Director, Dr. Chris Ringrose commented:
“We are very pleased to have undertaken this transaction with Rox – a company that has discovered the Camelwood nickel sulphide mineralisation system on its Mt Fisher Project, which adjoins Cullen’s Mt Eureka project tenements to the south, and where they have also defined gold resources. Given their key geological understanding of the region, strong financial position, and well-established logistics base in the remote north east Goldfields, they are best positioned to advance exploration for gold and nickel deposits on Cullen’s numerous defined prospects.
This transaction is another example of Cullen’s long-standing and successful strategy of project generation and Joint Venture farm-out as appropriate. Cullen can now focus on its Wongan Hills Project and its two new, substantial exploration licence applications (totalling ~350km[2] ) located south east of the Penny West gold deposits, and continue its project generation.”
