Saudi Arabia investment – further extension of documentation timeline
Further to the ASX announcement on 1 June 2012 Lawson Gold Limited (ASX:LSN or Company) wishes to advise that notwithstanding the passing of the 15 June 2012 target date for completion of formal documentation of the proposed transaction, the Company and Mawarid Investments Limited (“Mawarid”) continue to work towards signing as soon as possible . An extension of the binding term sheet for around two weeks has been agreed for the formal documentation to be completed and signed.
Both Mawarid and Lawson acknowledge that whilst there is now a relatively small number of matters for which documentation needs to be completed, a 31 July 2012 target date for settlement is no longer achievable. Shareholders will be updated on meeting dates and the likely settlement date immediately the formal agreements are signed. The parties believe it is reasonable to expect that signing is only a matter of two weeks or so away.
The Company intends to acquire a 51% interest in a suite of gold, copper and base metal exploration assets in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to raise a minimum of A$15 million to accelerate exploration on a number of high priority targets on the 2,247 km²tenement package. As part of the overall transaction, LSN intends to demerge its exploration tenements near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (plus A$2.2m in cash) into a new company (NewCo) and distribute the shares in NewCo to give LSN shareholders continuing ownership of those assets.
For further details of the proposed Saudi Arabia transaction see the Company’s announcement to ASX of 2 April 2012
LSN shareholders will receive more details in the coming months including a notice of meeting and explanatory memorandum, independent expert reports and a prospectus.
