ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Coal Projects
AustChina continues to look into alternative strategies for the use of coal from the Blackall Project in site-based processes. On 15 October 2021 AustChina announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Fortress Capital (ASX: "MOU to Investigate Technology – Convert Solid Fuels to Energy"). AustChina is working through a due diligence process to evaluate the applicability of the technology to its portfolio.
Exploration expenditure of $69,000 during the quarter continued consideration of mining method alternatives and strategies for coal utilisation for the Blackall resource.
There were no substantive mining production or development activities undertaken during the quarter. No field activities were scheduled or carried out during the quarter.
Mineral Projects
In an ASX announcement on 23 August 2021 (ASX: "Copper Investment to list on ASX through Revolver Resources") AustChina announced that had agreed, subject to conditions precedent, to transfer its holding in Sector in return for shares in Revolver Resources Holdings Ltd (Holdings) which is the ultimate parent company of Sector. Holdings had lodged a prospectus with the ASX on 2nd August and was working towards a planned listing on the ASX.
Pat Williams, Managing Director of Revolver Resources commented:
"As a cost-effective conductive material, copper sits right at the heart of the new commodity super cycle." He went on to say, "By 2030, copper demand is forecast to grow 600-900% in green related industries."
Holdings subsequently listed on the ASX on 23 September 2021 (ASX: RRR), and AustChina views positively the increased exposure to copper potential through Holdings' overall tenure position, which includes the historical Dianne Copper Mine and surrounding exploration permit.
As a result of the transfer its holding in Sector Projects Pty Ltd in return for shares in Revolver Resources Holdings Ltd, AustChina now holds 2.5million shares in that company.
AUH sees long term potential in the copper sector.
Tenement Portfolio Update
Tenements held at the end of the quarter and their locations are as follows:
| TENEMENT | NAME | HOLDING |
|---|---|---|
| EPC 1719 | Barcoo River/Blackall | 100% |
| EPC 1993 | Blackall South Corner | 100% |
Investment in Utilitas
The Utilitas Group Pty Ltd (Utilitas) (AUH 25.14%) during the quarter sold its Bundaberg bioHub industrial park to land developers who are preparing the site for 5 key tenancies including the Bundaberg biohydrogen project. This asset sale enables Utilitas to activate the planning and approvals of its first three utility-scale, commercial grade green gas projects.
Payments to related parties
A total of $23,000 was paid to directors and their associates for salaries, director fees and superannuation during the quarter ended 30 September 2021.
