Great Boulder’s Managing Director, Andrew Paterson commented:

“The demerger of the highly prospective Yamarna project is a win-win for the Company and its shareholders, enabling Great Boulder to crystallise value from the non-core base metals assets, while ensuring management time and resources remain focused on our flagship Side Well and Whiteheads gold projects.”

“I encourage investors to review the Prospectus and Offer documentation and encourage Great Boulder shareholders to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the upcoming priority offer.”

“The Great Boulder directors wish the Cosmo Metals team well for a successful IPO and listing in the near term.”

Cosmo Metals Background

As announced on 11 November 2021, the demerger and listing of Cosmo Metals received shareholder approval at the Great Boulder 2021 Annual General Meeting held 8 November 2021.
