Panthera's partnership with Galaxy involves several facets, which include:
1. Investment by Galaxy into IGL.
2. Galaxy providing administrative, legal, permitting and technical support in India that will allow it to potentially earn up to an additional 12% equity in IGL subject to achieving certain success hurdles in the lead up to the commencement of mining at Bhukia.
3. Galaxy, at IGL's election, can earn additional equity through providing drilling and logistic services upon the re-commencement of exploration at Bhukia, which may be a cost effective financing solution.
4. IGL and Galaxy constructively working to negotiate IGL's participation in Galaxy's BSE listing process (possibly through a merger with or acquisition by Galaxy).
About Galaxy
Galaxy Gold is an Indian company with Australian management with over 15 years' experience in the gold exploration and mining industry in India. Galaxy has Indian partners that are ready to provide capital and resources in support of the exploration, permitting and development of the Bhukia JV project. Galaxy also has contractual rights to earn an interest in a gold development project in Tanzania, which will form part of its BSE listing strategy.
10% Investment and Valuation Implications
Galaxy has agreed to purchase two 5% stakes in IGL in two stages:
Stage 1 (5%) - US$250,000 immediately upon receipt of Indian government overseas direct investment approval, with a further US$250,000 due before 31 March 2019;
Stage 2 (5%) - US$750,000 prior to the re-commencement of exploration (now expected mid- to late-2019).
The Stage 1 investment implies a valuation for Panthera's remaining 95% interest in IGL of US$9.5m (GBP GBP7.5m; A$13.2m).
The Stage 2 investment implies a valuation for Panthera's remaining 90% interest in IGL of US$13.5m (GBP GBP10.7m; A$18.8m).
