ASX Announcement 20 March 2020
ANCUABE DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
-
Triton’s Chinese contractors and strategic partners advise that their business appears to be returning to normal following the Chinese response to COVID19
-
Triton accelerating discussions with potential Chinese financing institutions
-
The Chairman of Triton's largest shareholder reaffirms support for the Company and the Triton Board’s targeted construction commencement date.
Triton Minerals Limited (ASX: TON, Triton or Company ) is pleased to advise that it has released its 2019 Annual Report that demonstrates the Company is well-funded following the placement to Jigao International Investment Development Co Ltd, its largest shareholder, and the resulting cash investment of A$8.5 million in December 2019.
Triton is very encouraged having been informed by its various Chinese partners in recent days that their business in China is returning back to more normal levels following the country’s response to COVID-19. The Triton Board is pleased by the support of its largest shareholder and, in particular, their continued commitment to progressing work on financing and value engineering over the previous months. Now that China appears to be returning to business as usual, discussions with financing institutions will accelerate, working toward enabling construction to commence in the near-term.
Triton’s Managing Director Peter Canterbury commented : “Having our largest shareholder on board over the past couple of months has provided us with a distinct advantage in being able to coordinate financing activities in China whilst travel restrictions limit the movement of Triton’s management.”
The Chairman of Triton’s largest shareholder has reaffirmed the strategic importance of the Ancuabe Graphite Project and commented:
“I am very confident of a very positive future for Triton and its shareholders. We are working closely with Triton management to finalise the funding package for Ancuabe on very favourable terms while at the same time value engineering the capital costs to improve the project’s economics. I have mobilised a team in China to support Triton's target of commencing construction in Q3 2020 and commissioning the plant into production at the end of 2021.”
“Our team have done a tremendous amount of work on this project and we are very confident of the long-term value this world class asset will deliver to all Triton shareholders.”
