Evolution satisfies earn-in milestone to earn a 75% interest in the Cue Joint Venture
-
Evolution Mining Limited has satisfied the earn-in requirement under the Cue Project Earn-in and Exploration Joint Venture Agreement to earn a 75% joint venture interest
-
An unincorporated joint venture is now formed with Evolution holding 75% and Musgrave holding 25%
-
Evolution will continue as operator of the joint venture and manager of the ongoing exploration
Musgrave Minerals Ltd (ASX: MGV ) (“Musgrave” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that Evolution Mining Limited (“Evolution”) has satisfied the earn-in requirement under the Cue Project Earn-in and Exploration Joint Venture Agreement (Cue JV) to earn a 75% interest in the Cue JV in Western Australia’s Murchison district.
The Cue JV is primarily focused on Lake Austin which lies to the north of the Company’s 100% owned Mineral Resources at Cue (Lena, Break of Day, White Heat-Mosaic and Big Sky deposits, and the Mainland option area – Figure 1).
As Evolution has met the A$18M expenditure requirement to complete the earn-in, an unincorporated joint venture is now formed and a joint venture committee will be established. Musgrave has the right to contribute to ongoing exploration costs on a pro-rata basis to maintain its 25% interest following approval of a proposed exploration program and budget, or can elect to dilute.
