Strategic Minerals plc (AIM: SML; USOTC: SMCDY), a producing mineral company actively developing projects prospective for battery materials, wishes to inform the market that its wholly owned subsidiary, Southern Minerals Group ("SMG"), operator of SML's Cobre magnetite stockpile in New Mexico, USA ("Cobre"), has agreed in principle a future plan for magnetite supply arrangements with its largest customer.
SMG's client continues to progress its applications for environmental planning but has not, as yet, received approval. SML has been working with the client to ensure that, irrespective of the progress of the applications, SMG will be in a similar position to that which it would have, had its underlying contract with the client been applied. An agreement in-principle has been reached with the client; documentation is currently being finalised and is expected to be signed in the coming weeks.
A further update with full details will be disclosed once this agreement has been signed.
