As the Proposed Acquisition will constitute a reverse takeover for the purposes of the FCA's Listing Rules, in accordance with Listing Rule 5.1, the Company has requested that the Company's Ordinary Shares be suspended from listing on the Official List pending the publication of a prospectus, which will follow completion, or until the Company confirms that the Proposed Acquisition is not proceeding.
Key Highlights:
• The Prince Alfred Mine was discovered in 1866 and is located 100km north-east of Port Augusta in South Australia. The Mine was in production during the 1870s, closing in 1874. It started producing ore again between 1888 - 1909, producing 12kt of ore and shipping concentrate to Wallaroo. It closed in 1909 due to a crash in the price of copper and in 1967 until early 1970s the tailings were tank leached to recover 600t of copper.
• The copper mineralisation at the Prince Alfred Mine is stratiform, and believed to be shear-hosted, with historic grades reported as 5% Cu. No modern exploration has occurred at the site.
• Cobra will also acquire the right to earn 75% of the Wudinna Project, which is located on the Eyre Peninsula in the Central Gawler Gold Province, a 450km arcuate belt which contains numerous mineral deposits.
• The Wudinna Project tenement package represents a land holding of 1931 km2, comprising five tenements: EL/5953, EL/5615, EL/5381, EL/6131 and EL/6001. This underexplored, but prospective terrane, offers upside potential with a large number of untested anomalies and drill ready targets.
• The mineralisation at the Wudinna Project is hosted by shallow-plunging stacked quartz-pyrite veins. While under shallow cover, advanced geochemical sampling techniques have proved effective in locating high-grade mineralisation.
• Three deposits at the Wudinna Project have b
