The acquisition increases the Company’s total landholding to 219 acres positioning Mt Chalmers for future development potential.

Overview

QMines Limited ( ASX:QML )( FSE:81V )( QMines or Company ) is pleased to announce that it has executed a conditional contract to acquire an additional 50 acres of freehold land adjacent to the Company’s flagship Mt Chalmers mine. The Company’s landholding now includes 219 acres across four freehold rural properties adjacent to the historic Mt Chalmers mine.

Freehold land acquisition forms part of the Company’s development strategy. The Company commenced its land acquisition programme in April 2021, purchasing its first 126 acre parcel of land including an “off grid” site office and accommodation facilities. These facilities are now utilised for staff and contractor accommodation during drilling operations.

Given the Company's strong financial position and net asset base which includes an existing property portfolio it does not consider the price of this acquisition to be material.

The Company will continue to assess the acquisition of strategic land packages in the region as they become available and looks forward to updating the market with further developments as and when they occur.

Management Comment

QMines Executive Chairman, Andrew Sparke, comments:

“The acquisition of a further 50 acres adjacent to the Mt Chalmers mine is a positive development for our company. The parcel of land covers part of the southern open pit and resource at Mt Chalmers. The acquisition will provide access for further resource extension drilling and bodes well for our planned development strategy.”
