Highlights
-
Resolution Minerals has finalised a binding agreement to sell the Wollogorang Project to neighbouring NT Minerals (ASX: NTM) for $250,000 ($50,000 cash and $200,000 shares)
-
NT Minerals holds the adjacent 13,184 km[2] Redbank Copper Project with *8.4 Mt @ 1.1% Cu and the strategic project acquisition builds on NT Minerals district scale ground position
-
The sale, for cash and shares, allows RML to focus funds on other projects and retain upside through a shareholding in NTM as consideration; completion is expected within a month
-
Also in the Northern Territory, drilling is progressing well at RML’s BHP-funded Benmara Project, and a reconnaissance field program has just been completed at the Carrara Range Manganese Project with rock chip assays expected in about a month
We are pleased to finalise the sale of the Wollogorang Project to NT Minerals. The prioritisation of time and funds is a key attribute of successful exploration companies. With our growing portfolio of New Energy Metals Projects, we are constantly reviewing and making decisions about which projects we believe have the best potential for exploration success. In the immediate future this includes continuing to progress a scoping study at the George High Purity Silica Sand Project, as well as the current drilling program at the Benmara Project, and the recently announced Allegra Nickel Project.
We wish NT Minerals all the best with their acquisition of the Wollogorang Project which represents a complementary land position to their neighbouring Redbank Copper Project, in the McArthur Basin.

Resolution Minerals Ltd ( ASX: RML ) ( Resolution or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding agreement for the sale of its wholly-owned Wollogorang Project located within the McArthur Basin in the Northern Territory to NT Minerals Limited (NTM) (ASX:NTM). Upon completion NTM will hold a 100% unencumbered interest in the seven Wollogorang Project Tenements, EL31272, EL30496, EL30590, EL31546, EL31548, EL31549, EL31550 via the sale of the holding company - Mangrove Resources Pty Ltd 100% owned by Resolution to NTM - initially announced as “Wollogorang Project Update” on 1 May 2023.
The consideration for the sale of the project is $250,000 comprising $50,000 cash and $200,000 worth of shares in NT Minerals based on the 10 day VWAP prior to completion of the transaction which is expected to occur within the next month. Completion will be subject to a number of standard conditions precedent (if required), including any approvals required by ASX, shareholder approval, Ministerial consent and other conditions precedent usual for this type of transaction.
The Wollogorang Project is prospective for near-surface sedimentary hosted copper and cobalt. It covers over three thousand eight hundred square kilometres in the north-east of the Northern Territory and is located within the McArthur Basin, which hosts the world-class McArthur River lead-zinc Mine and is surrounded by mid-tier and major companies, including BHP, Rio Tinto and Teck.

ASX RELEASE
The Benmara Project covers a commanding ground position of over 3,000km[2] granted tenure on the northern edge of the South Nicholson Basin, one of Australia's most under-explored sedimentary basins. The Benmara project is cross-cut by several major fault systems and the rocks are analogous to those that host the world-class McArthur River Mine, Century deposit, and several other significant deposits in the region. The Project is funded for up to $4M to earn a 51% interest through a Farm-in agreement with the BHP Group. Resolution is the operator for the current drilling program underway at the Benmara Project.
The Carrara Range Manganese Project covers 1,271km[2] of terrain highly prospective for sedimenthosted battery metals and iron-ore. The area is underexplored, and only recently, in 2020, Geoscience Australia geologists identified a promising high-grade manganese mineral occurrence at surface (49.8% MnO) within Resolution’s tenure. (Carson et al, 2020).
