From completion, HoldCo and Dynamic have now formed a 40% / 60% unincorporated joint venture.

Upon HoldCo earning 80% interest Dynamic must elect to either remain in Joint Venture and contribute to Joint Venture expenses or convert its interest into a royalty.

ABOUT DYNAMIC METALS
==> picture [271 x 367] intentionally omitted <==
Dynamic Metals (ASX: DYM) is a dedicated exploration company focused on advancing an underexplored portfolio of minerals critical to decarbonisation and the growing battery metals market.
Dynamic’s flagship project, Widgiemooltha, covers an extensive area of ~800km[2] extending between Norseman and Kambalda. The Widgiemooltha region is highly prospective for nickel and gold and more recently emerged in significance for its lithium mineralisation and prospectivity. In early 2024, Dynamic entered into a binding joint venture and farm-in agreement with Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) (MinRes), whereby Dynamic sold 40% of its lithium rights on the Widgiemooltha Project for $5m. MinRes can increase its interest to 65% by spending $15m and then to 80% by sole funding to a Decision to Mine.
In addition to Widgiemooltha, Dynamic holds an extensive portfolio of exploration tenure in Western Australia, including several joint venture positions in Western Australia where other parties are funding ongoing exploration to earn-in interest in the project. These projects are prospective for gold, nickel, lithium, iron ore and diamonds.
