SPIN OFF IPO OF ERITREAN AND TASMANIAN ASSETS
Gippsland Limited [ASX: 'GIP'; FRA: 'GIX'] ('Gippsland' or the 'Company') advise that the Board of Gippsland has resolved to pursue the spin off via an IPO and listing on ASX Limited ('ASX') of Gippsland's 100% owned Adobha Project located in the State of Eritrea and Gippsland's 40% interest in the Heemskirk Tin Project located in Tasmania.
Gippsland's primary focus is on the development of its flagship 44.5 million tonne Abu Dabbab Tantalum-Tin-Feldspar Project located in Egypt and to progressing the financing and construction of Abu Dabbab, which has the potential to be the world's largest single source of the highly strategic supermetal tantalum.
The new public company ('Newco') that will seek to list on ASX will purchase from Gippsland, the Adobha Project and Gippsland's 40% interest in the Heemskirk Tin Project, in exchange for equity in Newco. Newco will seek to raise sufficient funds to explore the Adobha Project via an underwritten IPO prospectus, with Gippsland shareholders to be offered on a pro-rata basis, the opportunity to subscribe for this equity capital in Newco.
It is the Board of Gippsland's view that the Adobha Project and Gippsland's 40% interest in the Heemskirk Tin Project are not currently attributed a significant valuation by the market and also believe that these two assets would benefit from dedicated funding via an IPO of Newco on ASX.
Newco's capital structure, board composition and the pricing of the IPO are yet to be determined, however Gippsland will provide regular updates as these details become available.
Adobha Project
The Adobha Project is comprised of a 2,100km2 Exploration Licence plus three 100km2 Prospecting Licences in the Adobha region of the State of Eritrea, all of which are 100% owned by Nubian Resources Pty Ltd, which is a 100% owned subsidiary of Gippsland.
These four tenements secure a large area encompassing a number of promising base metal prospects discovered by Gippsland during recent reconnaissance geochemical and geological surveys.
The geochemical surveys and subsequent follow-up exploration involving rock-chip sampling and geological mapping identified large areas of visible copper mineralisation, some of which contain associated lead and zinc. The geochemical surveys targeted the highest ranked of the interpreted Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite image anomalies.
A number of anomalies are still to be examined and the vast majority of the funds raised by Newco via the IPO will be used to undertake this further exploration.
A map of the 2,400km2 area that the four tenements cover and which constitute the Adobha Project is on the following page.



The two main areas of copper mineralisation identified thus far are anomalies E26 & E21:
Anomaly E26
- Widespread copper mineralisation in bedrock with values up to 10.63% Cu
- Large area of discontinuous copper mineralisation (390m x 520m) $\bullet$
- Mineralisation open to the east and north
- Copper bearing samples analysed up to 1.15g/t Au
Anomaly E21
- Copper mineralisation identified over 1.7km strike length
- High lead values (up to 0.97%) indicate favourable lithology for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits
The Company's four Adobha tenements cover 2,400km2 of a highly mineral endowed region of the State of Eritrea that is regarded as very prospective for VMS mineralisation and structurally controlled gold mineralisation.
Local examples of these types of deposits are the 40 million tonne precious and base metal-rich Bisha VMS deposit (1.44 million ounce gold and 0.39 million tonne copper) located some 174km to the south and the 0.760 million ounce Zara Gold Project located only 16km to the south of the most southern of the Company's four tenements. The large area covered by the four tenements forms part of the Precambrian Nubian-Arabian Shield that also hosts 5 deposits containing more than 1 million ounces of gold, including the 14.49 million ounce Sukari gold deposit.
A map of the Nubian-Arabian Shield is on the following page.
