Sheffield Resources (“Sheffield”) (ASX:SFX) today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement with Centrex Metals Limited (ASX:CXM) to sell its interests in E70/4318, E70/3777, E70/4004, E70/4320, E70/4319 and E70/4378, near Three Springs in Western Australia, referred to collectively as its Oxley potash tenements.
The material terms of the agreement are as follows:

-
Completion is subject to Foreign Investment Review Board approval, any necessary government consents and execution of deeds of assumption with third parties on or before 31 May 2015.
The sale coincides with Sheffield receiving a $1,523,800 refund under the Federal Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive program, further bolstering the Company’s cash reserves.
