Korab Resources L t d (“ Korab ”, o r “ Company ” ) ( ASX: KOR ) and its su b sidiaries Aus t ralian Copper Pty Lt d and Australian Copper H oldings Pty L td (together AusCopper ) are very ple a sed to advis e that A u sCopper ha s executed th e Term She e t with Great F ingall Minin g Company NL ( GFMC ) for GFMC to acquire a n d option to p urchase the M t. Elephant p roject. The T erm Sheet i s binding upo n the pa r ties but is su b ject to share h older approval if such is r e quired under the ASX Listi n g Rules.

The tr a nsaction co v ers the Mt. Elephant pro j ect located in the Ashbu r ton Mineral F ield south of Parab u rdoo in Wes t ern Australia . Mt. Elephan t consists of 5 granted ex p loration licen c es E08/2757, E 52/ 2 724, E08/23 0 7, E08/2756, and E 08/2115 (“ Tenements ”). Expl o ration licenc e E08/2115 i s subjec t to forfeiture a ction as rep o rted to ASX o n 12 June 2018.

Pursu a nt to the Ter m Sheet, GF M C will pay A u sCopper a $ 5 0,000 optio n fee to acqui r e an option t o purch a se the Tene m ents. The o p tion term will be 9 months from 21 July 2018 and it c an be exten d by ag r eement bet w een the par t ies. Upon t h e exercise o f the option, the consideration for th e Tene m ents will be $500,000 pay a ble in ordinar y shares in G F MC. Under the Term Sh e et, GFMC w ill be respon s ible for the e x ploration wit h in the Tene m ents, and for keeping the Tene m ents in g o od standing, including ( a mong othe r s) meeting the minimu m expen d iture require m ents, paying tenement re n ts, and local g overnment r a tes.

The tr a nsaction is c o nditional on:

  1. Korab shareholder appr o val if require d under the A S X Listing Ru l es:

Because t h e value of t he consideration constitutes more tha n 20% of th e consolidate d equity interest of Kora b , Korab ma y be require d to seek sh a reholder ap p roval for thi s transaction in general m eeting pursu a nt to Listing Rule 11.4. If t he Company is required t o obtain shareholder app r oval for this transaction, the Compan y intends to c all a gener a l meeting a s soon as pra c ticable to se e k such appr o val and if su c h approval i s not obtaine d the option w ill lapse.

If GFMC is not listed o n ASX withi n 9 months, t h e option will l apse unless i is extende d by agreeme n t between th e parties.

Under a separate a greement e x ecuted betw e en Australian Copper H o ldings Pty L t d ( ACH ) an d GFMC, ACH will be responsible f or defending the forfeiture action in res p ect of tenement E08/2115. In the unlikely even t that the ten e ment E08/2115 is forfeite d , GFMC will h ave 30 day s to decide if it wants to terminate the option. If GFMC deci d es to termin a te the optio n , AusCopper will refund t o GFMC the $50,000 option fee p lus 50% of the exploratio n expenditur e , tenement r e nt, and loc a l gover n ment rates p a id for by GF M C in respect of the Mt. Elephant Project .
