“Cape Lambert has rapidly acquired interests in a number of near-term cobalt production opportunities in Central Africa and to have done this so quickly and at a time of such strong cobalt market fundamentals puts them in a very good position to be able to secure well priced and structured concentrate offtake and sales agreements and accompanying commodity linked debt funding solutions.” Mr Ziegelaar said.
Under the terms of the engagement with MRM, the Company will pay a success fee in cash to MRM on first shipment under the proposed offtake agreement and on drawdown of any funding package secured by MRM. No equity is to be issued under the engagement to MRM.
