ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT 13 February 2013
SALE OF JV INTERESTS TO GOLD FIELDS CLANCY TO RAISE $1.5 MILLION
Clancy Exploration Limited (ASX: CLY) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to sell its joint venture interests in six copper-gold projects in NSW to its joint venture partner, Gold Fields Australasia Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields).
Clancy will receive a total of A$1.5 million from a combination of the sale consideration and a placement of shares to a related body corporate of Gold Fields.
-
The sale consideration will be A$1 million in cash which is to be paid immediately upon settlement.
-
The equity component of A$500,000 will be received immediately upon settlement of the placement which is to be done at 3.5c per share - a 75% premium to the current share price of 2c per share.
-
Clancy will retain its 2.5% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalties on the six projects (in addition to Wellington North – see below), subject to Gold Fields having the right at any time to purchase the NSR’s for A$20 million each.
-
Both parties’ pre-emptive rights and the Gold Fields back-in right on the Gobondery project will be terminated.
Clancy’s Managing Director, Mr Gordon Barnes, said that the sale would allow both companies to deal with their respective project portfolios unencumbered.
“Gold Fields and Clancy have been partners in NSW since 2004 and in that time the portfolio and the priorities of each party have evolved. This deal will enable Clancy to focus on generating value from its 100% owned projects without restriction and the cash and equity component will strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide capital for ongoing exploration and/or project acquisition”, said Mr Barnes.
Clancy has a minority interest in six joint ventures that Gold Fields is earning, or has earned, an 80% interest in (Table 1). Once Gold Fields has earned an 80% equity in each of the projects, Clancy is required to either fund its share of the exploration cost, or dilute.
“Clancy’s priority is to fund projects that will generate the most shareholder value. Raising finance to fund a minority JV interest is a difficult proposition. We have already been diluted to an NSR on the Wellington North JV and it is quite likely that we would dilute in future on the others. Keeping the NSR’s provides cash upside in the event of a future discovery by Gold Fields. The Board is currently working through a number of new project opportunities which, if they materialise, we hope would provide better leverage for Clancy shareholders than what is offered by the Gold Fields JV projects”, Mr Barnes said.
The joint venture interests in six projects are being sold: Myall, Cowal East, Parkes CLY, Parkes CUR, Jemalong and Moorefield (Figure 1 and Table 1). Additionally the current Wellington North NSR will be amended to reflect Gold Fields’ right to purchase the royalty for A$20 million.
Gold Fields will hold 8.62% of the issued capital in Clancy when the sale is completed by on or about 19 February 2013.
