Mike Buck, CEO of Petro Matad, said:
"We are pushing to secure approval from Matad Soum for the land access required to execute our 2024 work programme and we are gearing up for operations during the summer. The negative reactions to the committee's decision and misinformation spread by activists were not unexpected and underline why the central government certification process is so important for the long term and is our preferred solution.
However, with 2024 parliamentary elections looming and central government moving slowly, we are pursuing the local solution as a priority. We are also pushing the central government hard to resolve its internal issues which have created the frustrating obstruction of the state special purpose certification process for Block XX. We will buy ourselves a long-delayed operating window with the local approval for 2024 if we can get it, but we do not want to go through such a process every year.
Separately, the progress made by our renewable energy joint venture is very pleasing and to see it so quickly in partnership with Japan's OECC and involved with the decarbonisation of the globally significant Oyu Tolgoi mine is testament to the credibility, professionalism and motivation of the team."
Nicole Galloway Warland, Managing Director of Thor Energy, commented:
"The Directors are delighted that this Stage 1 Commitment milestone has been met and are excited to move to the next phase of the HoA, working with IVR to complete all JV documentation.
"The Molyhil/Bonya Earn-in and the JV allow Thor to retain an equity interest in the prospective Molyhil tenements with reduced operational risk. Thor benefits from exploration upside on the Tenements and receives considerations in the form of cash and IVR shares.
"The Molyhil divestment and Bonya sale support the Company's focus on its priority US uranium assets, where we see the most significant and nearest-term value potential for Thor's shareholders."
GreenRoc's CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:
"This LOI from US EXIM Bank represents a strong show of support for our Amitsoq project from one of the key financing bodies of the US Government involved in the roll-out of loans and other funding support under the US Inflation Reduction Act to entities, like Greenroc, which are developing projects which will deliver critical raw materials to Western economies. A successful application for up to US$3.5m of funding would allow us to undertake extensive and costly parts of our work programme over the coming couple of years and to achieve important milestones such as the PFS and DFS and the processing of large bulk samples of graphite ore, all of which are critical paths to production. As such, we expect to proceed with an application to US EXIM Bank in the near future.
"With the US Inflation Reduction Act's rules of origin in relation to graphite set to be implemented in the near future, we expect to see increased interest from US industries in securing friendly sources of graphite, and so this LOI from US EXIM Bank is timely."
