Sheffield Resources Limited (“Sheffield” “the Company”) (ASX: SFX) is pleased to advise that it has received the final $1m cash consideration from Image Resources NL (Image) (ASX: IMA) following the divestment of mining tenements within the Eneabba Project.
Including the final $1m instalment, Sheffield has received a total of $24m (representing net sale proceeds after GST) for the sale of its 100% owned Eneabba Project (refer ASX announcements dated 29 November 2021 and 19 January 2022).
A combined total of $36m (net sale proceeds after GST) has been received by the Company from the sale of its 100% owned Eneabba and McCalls Projects (refer ASX Announcement 14 March 2022). Cash proceeds from the Eneabba and McCalls transactions are not expected to result in any material tax liability for Sheffield, with proceeds partially offsetting the Group’s carried forward tax loss position.
Proceeds will be applied toward Sheffield’s $10m obligation to Kimberley Mineral Sands Pty Ltd payable within 60 days following a Final Investment Decision for the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project, plus any additional shared joint venture equity contribution (current estimated as $26m), as well as corporate purposes.
This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Company’s Board of Directors.
