Business Development – Seeking new growth opportunities in gold & base metals

==> picture [54 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

  • Basis

  • Seeking opportunities in supportive/sound mining jurisdictions (e.g. Australia)

  • New opportunities (projects and/or corporate transactions) must be value-accretive and create long-term shareholder value without excessive dilution

  • Project reviews include exploration stage assets as well as more advanced projects with near-term development and production potential

  • Why gold, nickel or copper?

  • Near-term macroeconomic environment and/or market fundamentals (supply/demand) supportive of positive price outlook for these commodities

  • Project pipeline for new nickel sulphide and copper development significantly reduced in recent years as Ni/Cu pricing has lagged incentive prices for new development

  • Existing mines (on average) facing declining grades, rising discovery costs and increasing political & social risks

  • Caveats

  • Current market for gold, nickel and copper projects is “hot & frothy” with assets fully priced

  • Patient and judicious approach required

  • i As previously announced to the ASX[9] , Haverford Holdings Ltd (Haverford), a 100% owned subsidiary of Talisman, has entered into a Farm-In Agreement with Bacchus Resources Pty Ltd (Bacchus) over certain Lachlan Cu-Au Project tenements (FIA). The terms of the FIA were amended by the parties on 18 February 2020 to include a number of clarifications.

  • In accordance with the terms of the FIA (as amended):

  • Haverford was deemed to have earned a 51% interest in the Bacchus Tenements (EL8547, EL8571, EL8638, EL8657, EL8658 and EL8680) by sole funding $1.3M of on-ground exploration expenditure within the required three-year period; and

  • Haverford could earn a further 29% interest in the Bacchus Tenements (being 80% in aggregate) by incurring a further $0.6M of third-party exploration expenditure between 18 February 2020 and 17 August 2021 (Second Earn-In Period) on the Bacchus Tenements.

  • Bacchus is entitled to receive a 20% interest in the Haverford Tenements (EL8615, EL8659 and EL8677) at the end of the Second Earn-in Period; and

  • at the end of the Second Earn-In Period, a formal joint venture will be entered into in respect of both the Bacchus Tenements and the Haverford Tenements which provides that Bacchus will be free carried for 10% of its joint venture interest until a decision to mine. Post a decision to mine, Bacchus can then elect whether to contribute or not, if Bacchus elects not to contribute, Haverford shall acquire Bacchus’ interest in the joint venture for 95% of fair value as agreed by the joint venture participants or determined by an expert

Following a tenement review Haverford relinquished EL8638 (Rosevale) and EL8657 (Rookery).
