ASX Market Announcements ASX Limited 4[th] Floor 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000
Dear Sir/Madam
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING SIGNED WITH ELEMENT 25 FOR THE SUPPLY OF MANGANESE ORE
The Board of OM Holdings Limited (ASX:OMH) (“ OMH ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“ MOU” ) has been executed between its wholly-owned subsidiary OM Materials (S) Pte. Ltd. (“ OMS ”) with Element 25 Limited (ASX:E25) (“ E25 ”) for the future supply of manganese ore from E25’s 100% owned Butcherbird Manganese Project (the “ Project ”).
This represents the first formal milestone in the engagement between the companies, after E25 released its Pre-Feasibility Study on 19 May 2020. The MOU between OMH and E25 is expected to lead to a formal binding offtake agreement in the coming months. The final terms of the agreement are subject to further negotiations and will also be dependent on the outcome of continuing due diligence investigations on manganese ore from the Project. The MOU establishes a broad framework for ongoing negotiations capturing the following key parameters:
-
An initial term of up to 5 years
-
Binding offtake of between 50% and 100% of the future manganese ore produced from the Project
-
• Pricing mechanisms based on agreed published benchmark pricing indices
-
Product specifications and delivery considerations
-
• Optimising the logistics solution for the Project
The MOU is effective for 9 months from the date of signing unless both parties formally agree to mutually terminate or extend the term.
The relationship with E25 is expected to complement the Company’s vertically integrated business model, and is envisaged to augment the Company’s raw material sources, increasing procurement flexibility at the Company’s smelters as well as creating opportunities for further distribution to external third parties.
Yours faithfully OM HOLDINGS LIMITED
