The first USD150,000 deferred consideration cash payment is payable on November 20, 2021 which is the first anniversary of completion.
"We are delighted that this acquisition has now closed. This now paves the way to explore commercial development options for KX36 and begin to evaluate the extensive database in conjunction with ours to discover more kimberlites in prime diamond real estate," says Chair John Teeling.
