• Diatreme divests EL5478 to Stavely Minerals Ltd (ASX:SVY) as part of ongoing strategic divestment process

Diatreme Resources Limited (ASX:DRX) has announced the divestment of EL5478 to Stavely Minerals Limited (ASX:SVY) as part of the Company’s refocus on strategic long-term assets.

Stavely Minerals has acquired 100% of EL5478, which covers an interpreted offset of the Mount Stavely Volcanic Belt in Victoria (refer SVY’s ASX announcement dated 10/04/2015).

Welcoming the transaction, Diatreme’s Chief Executive Officer, Neil McIntyre said: “Diatreme is determined to divest itself of greenfield exploration tenement areas which do not satisfy the Company’s new and rigorous commercial, geological and geographic examination process.”

Since launching its strategic divestment process, Diatreme has systematically consolidated its tenement portfolio from 29 exploration properties (including 13 applications and no mining leases) in early 2014, to just nine high value exploration properties (including one application) and four mining leases at the Company’s flagship Cyclone Zircon Project and the Tick Hill Gold Project.

“Under Diatreme’s refocus on its project pipeline, any retained tenements must be seen having potential for advancement to discovery and capacity for commercial mining, thereby generating long-term value for shareholders.”

The latest tenement divestment follows Diatreme’s ASX announcement of 9 April 2015, concerning a major upgrade to the Mineral Resource at the Cyclone Project in Western Australia’s Eucla Basin. The Company’s key project now has an estimated resource of 211 million tonnes (Mt) at 2.3% heavy minerals (HM) containing 4.8Mt HM, increasing contained HM by 60% and confirming Cyclone’s status as one of the highest zircon grade projects under development.

“Diatreme has an excellent outlook, based on rising Asian demand for zircon and other mineral sands to support its next stage of urbanisation. By refocusing on our strategic projects and divesting non-core greenfields tenements, the Company is maximising valuable shareholder funds and ensuring it is in the best position to deliver value for shareholders,” Mr. McIntyre said.
