ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Peel Exercises Pre-Emptive Right to Purchase Wirlong Royalty

Key Points:

  • The Company has exercised its pre-emptive right to acquire Weddarla Pty Ltd’s 1.5% Net Smelter Return royalty over tenement EL8307, by matching a third party’s unconditional cash offer of $1.2 million

  • EL8307 contains the Wirlong Cu-Ag deposit, and the Sandy Creek and Red Shaft prospects

  • Purchase of royalty moves Peel to 100% unencumbered ownership of all its Southern Cobar Basin tenements

Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has exercised its preemptive right to acquire Weddarla Pty Ltd’s 1.5% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty over tenement EL8307, by matching a third party’s unconditional cash offer of $1.2 million.

Weddarla recently notified Peel that it had received an offer from a Toronto Stock Exchange listed royalty streaming business to purchase the 1.5% NSR royalty associated with EL8307. Pursuant to Peel’s first right of refusal under the Royalty Deed, Weddarla offered to sell the 1.5% NSR royalty to Peel for $1.2 million (excluding GST) in cash. In accordance with the terms of the Royalty Deed, Peel has elected to exercise its right to acquire the royalty interest. Following the acquisition Peel will have 100% unencumbered ownership of all its Southern Cobar Basin tenements.

EL8307 contains the Wirlong copper-silver deposit, as well as the Sandy Creek and Red Shaft prospects. Wirlong, discovered in 2016, represents a classic Cobar-style VMS copper deposit analogous to the CSA mine. Wirlong has returned strong copper mineralised intercepts commencing from ~60m below surface to at least 600m below surface, and when combined with Mallee Bull, significantly increases the Company’s exposure to copper. Peel intends to undertake drilling at Wirlong over the coming months with the objective of establishing a copper-rich Maiden mineral resource estimate.

Rob Tyson commented:

“The unconditional cash offer from a TSX-listed royalty streaming business for the 1.5% NSR royalty covering EL8307 continues to underscore the widespread interest that exists for Cobar Basin assets, and the strong economic potential therein.

Peel’s pre-emptive right has ensured that the Company can completely consolidate its Southern Cobar Basin tenements removing all future ownership encumbrances.

As foreshadowed, it is the Company’s intention, in due course, to undertake a resource drillout at Wirlong in order to establish a maiden mineral resource estimate.

It is our strong belief that Wirlong, and the broader EL8307 landholding, has excellent economic potential, and the buyout of the royalty interest underlines the Company’s view on the value proposition.”
