Huge upside, can’t see much down side16 Nov 2021 13:17
Funded for drilling by sand fire
The Success Payment is only triggered if the First Ore Reserve is > 200,000 tonnes of
contained copper. Given the Included Licenses have had limited exploration to date,
if an Ore Reserve is determined this may take several years and there is no certainty
that an Ore Reserve would be established or that any such reserve would exceed
200,000 tonnes of contained copper. The one-off Success Payment will be calculated
in accordance with the table below.
Contained copper (Cu) in first Ore Reserve
Between the following:
Success Payment (USD)
payable
>200Kt Cu and <400Kt Cu $10,000,000
>400Kt Cu and <600Kt Cu $20,000,000
>600Kt Cu and <750Kt Cu $40,000,000
>750Kt Cu $80,000,000
The Success Payment is due to be paid in cash within 30 days from the date Sandfire
announces an Ore Reserve which triggers the payment of the Success Payment (the
“Success Payment Completion Date”).
So at the lowest success payment level this would add $10m or 140% of current
mcap, plus the $907k for the option agreement, Sandfire resources are already
mining in Botswana at the Motheo Copper Mine and know a lot about what they are
buying. At the highest success payment it would add about 1100%. These events are
likely to happen in the next two years as Sandfire are obliged to spend $1m on
investigating the resource.
Hopefully over the coming weeks and months we will discover more of the potential
of both Zambia and Namibia assets.
