RE: JV update...4 Dec 2020 10:52
Taken from the announcement March 2019....
The principle terms of the Wudinna Agreement are as follows:
• Stage One: Lady Alice will sole fund A$2.1million within 3 years of execution of the Wudinna Agreement to earn a 50% equity position.
• Stage Two: At the completion of Stage One, a joint venture vehicle can be formed, or alternatively, Lady Alice can spend a further A$1.65 million over an additional 2 years to earn a 65% equity interest in the Wudinna Project.
• Stage Three: At the completion of Stage Two, a joint venture vehicle can be formed, or alternatively, Lady Alice can spend a further A$1.25 million within 1 year to earn 75% of the equity in the Wudinna Project, being a total A$5 million to secure 75% of the Wudinna Project.
• Once the joint venture vehicle is formed, the parties will contribute to further expenditure in accordance with their respective equity positions, or dilute using standard dilution procedures.
• Lady Alice will act as operator of the Wudinna Project.
What’s interesting is there’s a choice after stage 1 which has now been completed. JV or alternatively Cobra (Lady Alice) spends more for a bigger slice of the tenements.
If Andromeda have decided that’s it we want 50% of this then Cobra can’t get a bigger slice. Andromeda then need to contribute to exploration/drilling costs.
Not sure what’s best for Cobra here!? 75% would be better but if Andromeda have to contribute 50% to costs going forwards we might have an acceleration in the IOCG targets!
