The other tenements8 Feb 2022 13:25
Firstly, just to go back to discussions on how a sale would work and return a dividend to shareholders, this posted by Thediddymen on ADVFN is worth reading to draw your own conclusions from if not seen.
>>Firstly XTR should be funding Prospectore through the intercompany account. When Prospectore is sold the intercompany account should then be settled as part of the consideration and that will give XTR the funding to carry on exploration.
In my view Prospectore should be divest of any tennements that are not part of the AA arrangement and XTR wish to explore to another wholely owned stautory entity.
For the disposal process XTR issue shares in specie to all XTR share holders and the acquirer purchases those shares.
This will have the benefit that there is no disposal of Bushranger (ie no Capital Gain in Australia). The consideration received by shareholders is then a return of capital, avoiding any revenue taxes. UK shareholders will then be responsibkle for capital taxes. They can then use their CGT allowance should the shares be outside an ISA.
XTR should not be retaining any of the consideration for Bushranger, they simply do not have the structure to use the proceeds effectively. All the Bushranger development costs will be returned to XTR meaning that XTR will not be in the market for anymore funding and will be able to carry on exploration.<<
The only part I would tend to disagree with is wether xtract would keep exploration rights on the other tenements, what opinions do others have?
