The Directors of Renison Consolidated Mines NL (“Renison”) are pleased to advise that the Company last night completed settlement on the sale of the Tom’s Gully underground gold mine (“ Tom’s Gully ”) in the Northern Territory to Canadian gold miner, GBS Gold International Inc. (“ GBS Gold ”).
The purchase price comprises the following instalments totalling up to $51 million:
-

In accordance with its contractual obligation under the purchase agreement, GBS Gold has made arrangements to facilitate the sale of these shares to enable Renison to receive cash proceeds;
-

The completion of the sale has allowed Renison to realise a fair value for the Tom’s Gully Mine and the funding available from the sale will enable the Company to focus its resources and aggressively pursue the advancement of its considerable portfolio of projects including the Agate Creek and Eidsvold Gold projects and its NSW Coal Projects and to consider other project opportunities.
