Transaction Overview
OZ Minerals (ASX: OZL) today announced it has signed a conditional binding Terms Sheet with Havilah Resources Limited (ASX: HAV) setting out the basis of a new strategic relationship in the prospective Curnamona Province in South Australia, including the option to acquire the Kalkaroo project.
The Kalkaroo project consists of a Mineral Resource estimate of 245Mt @ 0.45% Cu and 0.39g/t Au[1] announced by Havilah in 2018 with Havilah having a large exploration tenement holding in the Curnamona Province.
The Terms Sheet provides OZ Minerals with a study period of up to 18 months ( Option and Alliance Period ) to evaluate the potential of the Kalkaroo project and the option to acquire 100 per cent of the Kalkaroo project ( Kalkaroo Option ) for a purchase price of $205 million. OZ Minerals may elect

to not exercise the Kalkaroo Option at any time during the Option and Alliance Period provided 5,000 metres have been drilled or a shortfall payment (metres not drilled multiplied by $400) is paid to Havilah. In addition, the agreement provides a deferred contingent consideration of $65 million, upon a 30% uplift in Kalkaroo’s Measured and Indicated Resource estimate as well as a copper price linked contingent payment in each year of production up to a maximum cumulative amount of $135 million.
Under the Strategic Alliance, OZ Minerals will pay Havilah $1 million per month during the Option and Alliance Period, with 50 per cent of the payments directed towards Havilah identifying and advancing nearby exploration opportunities within the Curnamona Province. Including the monthly payment, OZ Minerals expects to spend up to $76 million during the Option and Alliance Period to undertake studies and for exploration activities at the Kalkaroo project and on alliance activities.
OZ Minerals will have certain rights to accelerate exploration in discoveries of copper dominant mineralisation in the alliance area and to participate in developing any related projects.
Funding options for any potential acquisition of the Kalkaroo project will be evaluated by OZ Minerals during the Option and Alliance Period.
Management Commentary
OZ Minerals Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Cole, said:
“We are pleased to be working with Havilah and to have the opportunity to add an exciting project to our growth pipeline. The agreement allows OZ Minerals to apply our experience of looking at projects in a different way to unlock value during the study phase, while providing Havilah the opportunity to continue to apply its extensive exploration experience across the province to identify new deposits.
“The agreement provides a low-cost option and flexibility to study the Kalkaroo project, while retaining the optionality to acquire 100% of the project for a fixed acquisition price together with any deferred contingent consideration. If the study can demonstrate value creation for our Stakeholders the fixed component of the acquisition price ensures that OZ Minerals captures additional value identified through the study and provides Havilah shareholders with price certainty, while the deferred contingent consideration rewards Havilah for future value enhancing milestones.
“During the study period the team will focus on opportunities to identify additional value by assessing a range of Modern Mining opportunities, innovation, processing improvements and local infrastructure that reduce project costs and improve productivity. The aim of the study is to improve our understanding and confidence in the project, and will include an infill drilling program to confirm the current Mineral Resource estimate, prior to making a decision to exercise the option to acquire 100% of the Kalkaroo project.
“We believe our approach of taking projects from an early study phase through development and into operation can unlock significant value for our stakeholders, something we have demonstrated with

Carrapateena, now in its third year of operation, and continue to show with West Musgrave as we approach a final investment decision on the project later this year.
“We remain focused on adding multiple options, like Kalkaroo, to our growth pipeline. We have strong study and project construction experience enabling rapid deployment to new projects beyond West Musgrave (should the project be approved) and our current brownfields expansions at Prominent Hill and Carrapateena.
“We look forward to working in partnership with Havilah on the Kalkaroo project and Strategic Alliance.”

Upon providing the notice under item 21.2(c) all technical data generated by OZE during the DOI Work Program will be provided to HAV and will become the property of HAV. (g) Subject to OZE defining an initial JORC Mineral Resource according to the DOI Work Program and subject to any HAV shareholder approval required pursuant to the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act, then the parties will enter into a 70:30 Mining Joint Venture Agreement under which OZE will secure a 70% participating interest in the project the subject of the DOI (DOI Project) by sole funding all work leading to a final investment decision to proceed with a commercial mining operation (Decision to Mine). The relevant work program and budgets will be determined by the Stakeholder Team, with the objective of expediently progressing the DOI Project to a Decision to Mine. (h) OZE will free-carry HAV through to a Decision to Mine. HAV will retain a 30% participating interest in the DOI Project and HAV will fund its share of development costs. Subject to customary pre-emption rights, HAV may dispose of its participating interest at any time. |

(i) OZE will progressively report all results of its activities in relation to the DOI Project to the Stakeholder Team and will provide HAV with copies of all results generated by its work, including, but not limited to drilling receipt by OZE;
-
(ii) if at the time a Decision to Mine is made and HAV elects not to participate in the proposed mining operation (in relation to the whole of its 30% participating interest) HAV will be deemed to have elected to Dispose of its interest to OZE which will have the right to acquire HAV's participating interest for an amount equal to:
0.3 x 0.75 x NPV of the DOI Project
such calculation to be based on the parameters in the final financial model used as the basis for the Decision to Mine;
-
(iii) subject to items (i) and (ii) above, HAV must fund expenditure in relation to the development of the DOI Project from the Decision to Mine to the extent of its participating interest in strict accordance with the BFS and final mine development plans; and
-
(iv) HAV may encumber its participating interest in the DOI Project for the purposes of raising funds to finance its participation.
-
(j) If OZE:
-
(i) withdraws from the DOI on notice; or
-
(ii) fails to materially meet the work program and budgets approved by the Stakeholder Team, such that it fails to define a JORC Resource or make a Decision to Mine within the objective time period (making allowance for Force Majeure or other unforeseen delaying events),
then:
-
(iii) the DOI and all OZE data generated for the former DOI Project will become the property of HAV; and
-
(iv) OZE will have a right of last refusal in relation to the sale and processing of copper ore obtained from the DOI, subject to Completion having occurred.
