Sale of Sturec Update

7 Feb 2020 11:19

RNS Number : 3417C
Arc Minerals Limited
07 February 2020
 

7 February 2020

 

Arc Minerals Ltd

('Arc' or the 'Company')

Sale of Sturec Update

Arc Minerals ("Arc" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that following announcements made on 19 November 2019 and 30 December 2019, the Company has today entered into a binding Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with MetalsTech Limited ("MTC") in respect of the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ortac Resources (UK) Limited, which holds Arc's interest in the Šturec gold project ("Šturec" or the "Project") in Slovakia, an Australian listed mineral exploration company for a gross consideration of up to US$8m (the "Disposal"). Completion of the Disposal shall take place by no later than 14 February 2020 ("Completion Date").

 

First Payment and Second Payment

As was announced on 30 December 2020, Arc will receive two phased cash payments namely A$450,000 (less the A$30,000 option fee) on the Completion Date (the "First Payment"), followed by a second payment of A$300,000 (the "Second Payment") within six months of the Completion Date, bringing the total cash proceeds payable to Arc of A$750,000 (c. US$500,000).

 

The Resource Upgrade Royalty

If, at any time in the period between 19 November 2021 and 19 November 2024, the Šturec JORC Indicated and Measured Resource exceeds 1.5 million ounces gold at a grade greater than 2.5g/t (inclusive of recoverable Ag equivalent), MTC will pay Arc a further A$2 royalty per additional ounce of gold . This royalty is capped at 7 million ounces of gold.

 

Any consideration due under the Resource Upgrade Royalty may be satisfied in either cash or by the issuance of ordinary shares in the capital of MTC.

 

Substantial transaction

Šturec is a large prospective gold exploration license. The Project is located in central Slovakia approximately 1.5km north east of the town of Kremnica and 17km west of central Slovakia's largest city, Banská Bystrica. The Project has a JORC (2004) compliant mineral Resource of 1.36 million ounces of gold equivalent. A Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") of the mining aspects of the Šturec Project was completed by SRK Consultants ("SRK"), a leading international engineering firm in April 2013. The sale of the Project constitutes a substantial transaction under AIM Rule 12. As at 31 March 2019, the reported net book value of Ortac s.r.o and other subsidiaries in Slovakia, which own the Project was £6m and incurred a loss of £25,000 for the year ended 31 March 2019 (from discontinued activities). The net proceeds of the disposal will be applied to exploration and development activities in Zambia and for general working capital purposes.

 

Nick von Schirnding, executive chairman of Arc stated: "This represents a major step forward for Arc as we focus the portfolio around our core Zambian copper assets where we have one of the most exciting undeveloped copper projects. I am very pleased with the commitment shown by MTC to take Šturec to the next stage of development and wish them well."
