Mokabe-Kasari Project
As announced on 6 September 2017, the Company proceeded with an earn-in agreement with CoCu Metals Ltd ( CoCu ) which controls 100% of the Mokabe-Kasari Cobalt-Copper project ( Mokabe-Kasari Project ) in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa ( Agreement ). During the period, by mutual agreement with CoCu, the commercial terms were revised whereby the Company may earn up to 90% of the Mokabe-Kasari Project via:
-
The issue of 14 million shares in the Company (7.5 million of which will be subject to 12 months escrow);
-
Payment of A$70,000 on commencement of phase 1 exploration;
-
Payment of A$75,000 90 days after phase 1 exploration commencement provided that the Company notifies CoCu that it wishes to continue with the Project; and
-
Payment of US$100,000 on issue of Mining Licence (or equivalent) over the Mokabe-Kasari Project area or portion thereof.
On 6 September 2017, the Company further advised that it had raised A$735,000 (before costs) via the issue of 66,818,182 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.011 (1.1 cent) per share via a Placement to provide funding towards earn-in exploration activities at the Mokabe-Kasari Project, ongoing identification and due diligence on additional asset, new project opportunities as well as general working capital.
On 14 September 2017, the Company provided an update on its Phase 1 exploration activities at the Mokabe-Kasari Project with an objective to delineate targets for reverse circulation ( RC ) and Diamond follow up drilling.
