The Transaction :

Acquisition Terms

FBM and its wholly-owned subsidiary Eastern Coolgardie Goldfields Pty Ltd ( ECG ) have entered into a binding sale agreement ( Sale Agreement ) with Corazon, Coolgardie Nickel and Coolgardie Mineral Rights Pty Ltd ( Coolgardie Mineral ), a wholly owned subsidiary of Corazon, pursuant to which FBM will acquire the remaining 15% interest in Coolgardie Nickel (which holds the licences that comprise the Miriam Project and 100% of the associated rights in respect to lithium and industrial minerals) and all base and precious metal rights held by Coolgardie Mineral over the Miriam Project ( Sale ).

ECG previously acquired its 85% interest in Coolgardie Nickel from Corazon ( Prior Sale ). As part of the Prior Sale, Coolgardie Mineral and Coolgardie Nickel entered into a mineral rights sharing agreement whereby Coolgardie Mineral retained a 100% interest in base and precious metal rights and Coolgardie Nickel held a 100% interest in lithium and industrial mineral rights for the Miriam Project. Refer to the ASX announcements dated 25 March 2024 for further details.

Under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the total consideration for the Sale is A$350,000 (cash) and, at completion:

  • Eastern Coolgardie will hold 100% of the issued share capital of Coolgardie Nickel and the shareholders agreement between Corazon and Eastern Coolgardie will be terminated;

  • Coolgardie Mineral will assign 100% of all base and precious metal rights back to Coolgardie Nickel and the mineral rights sharing agreement will be terminated; and

  • the existing royalty arrangement over the Miriam Project, under which the Company has an obligation to pay a royalty to ECG will be terminated.

Further, on and from completion, given that Corazon will no longer have an interest in the Miriam Project and will no longer have any nexus to the milestones in respect to the performance rights previously issued to Corazon pursuant to the Prior Sale, the 120,967,744 FBM performance rights held by Corazon will be cancelled for nil consideration.

Completion of the Sale is not subject to any conditions and it is envisaged that completion will occur on or around 19 May 2025.
