ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT
MOROCCO COBALT ACQUISITION UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Clancy extends timeframe, by mutual agreement, by 30 days to close exclusive deal to acquire up to 100% of key cobalt licences immediately adjacent to the world famous Bou Azzer (also referred to as Bou Azzar) Cobalt mine in Morocco.
-
Independent mining industry consultants, CSA Global Pty Ltd, have been contracted by Clancy to conduct an independent geological review of the Moroccan licences and advise on future exploration.
-
Rock samples from Morocco have now arrived at SGS Laboratories in Perth for assay and thin section analysis and results are expected shortly.
David Lenigas, Clancy Exploration’s Chairman, commented, “We have engaged CSA Global’s Perth office to conduct an independent review of the Moroccan licences and this review will form an integral part of the disclosure when the deal is put to shareholders shortly. It was necessary to seek the extension of time from Atlas Managem so as to complete the necessary due diligence and allow sufficient time to obtain the assay results back from SGS Labs in Perth of the rock chip/grab samples collected by CSA Global from the project areas.”
Clancy Exploration Limited ( ASX: CLY ) (“ Clancy ” or the “Company ”) announces that a letter agreement has been signed between the parties, extending the period of time by which Clancy may complete conditions relating to its agreement to acquire up to a 100% interest in 3 licences in Morocco (" Licences ") (“ Sale Agreement” ) through the staged acquisition of Atlas Managem S.A.R.L (“ Atlas” ) (“ Acquisition ”).
