DIVESTMENT OF DRC ASSETS

Leading African battery minerals company, Prospect Resources Ltd (ASX: PSC) (“Prospect” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to sell its exploration business in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) to New Energy Metals Limited (“NRG”).

NRG is a private Perth based company that is seeking to list on the ASX this year.

The sale will be effected by the transfer of Prospect’s wholly owned subsidiary, Prospect Cobalt Pte Ltd (“PCP”), along with its associated subsidiaries and assets.

The consideration for the sale is:

  • a. A$1,000 and the costs of transferring ownership of PCP to NRG;

  • a. A$50,000 of new shares in NRG’s proposed seed capital placing;

  • b. A$100,000 of new shares in NRG’s proposed IPO placing;

  • c. A$1,000,000 on delineation of a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of greater than 5Mt at an average grade of greater than 2% copper or greater than 0.5% cobalt on existing or future projects generated by NRG and its subsidiaries in the DRC; and

  • d. A net smelter royalty (NSR) of 1% on any copper and cobalt products produced from existing or future projects generated by NRG and its subsidiaries in the DRC.

The transaction follows Prospect’s decision to scale back exploration activities, and to focus on and further advance the Arcadia Lithium Project, as announced in its March 2019 quarterly activities report.

Prospect’s Managing Director, Mr Hosack, said “The Arcadia Lithium Project is a top ten global hard rock lithium asset with strong project economics. It is shovel ready and we are currently sourcing funding to allow us to commence development. Therefore, Arcadia will be the primary driver of shareholder value in the near future, and by divesting the Company’s explorational activities in the DRC, Prospect can re-allocate capital to improving Arcadia’s project economics and moving the Project into development.”

About Lithium

Lithium is a soft silvery-white metal which is highly reactive and does not occur in nature in its elemental form. In nature it occurs as compounds within hard rock deposits (such as Arcadia) and salt brines. Lithium and its chemical compounds have a wide range of industrial applications resulting in numerous chemical and technical uses. Lithium has the highest electrochemical potential of all metals, a key property in its role in lithium-ion batteries.
