SPL can then earn an additional 50% beneficial interest in EPM17850 by issuing to Harvest Metals Pty Ltd 75,000,000 fully paid shares in Ashburton Minerals Ltd (value approximately $300,000 at $0.04 per share)
SPL would then self fund exploration over EPM 17850
CBQ's remaining 20% interest free-carried by SPL to decision to mine, then subsequent expenditure on JV basis. Should either party's interest drop below 10% that party's interest converts to a 2% smelter royalty.
