Investigator Resources Limited (ASX: IVR) Announces Fluorite Sale
Cash Sale Overview
Investigator Resources Limited (ASX: IVR) has successfully entered a binding agreement with Tivan Limited (ASX: TVN) for the sale of approximately 30% of its Mount Sainthill Exploration License and non-core Oorabra Mining Leases for a total consideration of $1.075 million. This strategic move allows Investigator to streamline its focus on tungsten while enabling Tivan to develop its fluorite potential in the region.
Sale Consideration Structure
The sale agreement includes various milestones for payments, starting with an initial cash payment of $400,000 upon signing the term sheet. Further payments will occur upon the transfer of the tenement, the announcement of a JORC compliant fluorite resource estimate, and the commencement of fluorite production. A portion of these proceeds will be allocated to Investigator’s joint venture partner, Thor Energy Plc.
Executive Comments
Managing Director Andrew McIlwain expressed enthusiasm about the transaction, stating, “The deal with Tivan came together quickly and has provided an opportunity to maximise the fluorite potential within the region while maintaining Investigator’s ability to explore for other commodities.” This reflects the shared goal of both companies to develop the underexplored territory effectively.
Mineral Sharing Agreement
The agreement also establishes a “Mineral Sharing Agreement,” allowing Investigator to explore for all minerals, excluding fluorite, while giving Tivan the right to explore for fluorite in designated areas. The existing land associated with the Molyhil Tungsten Project remains unaffected, ensuring continued focus on critical projects.
Future Outlook for Investigator
This transaction positions Investigator Resources to progress its key exploration and development objectives without compromising its commitment to existing projects. As the company advances its exploration ambitions, it remains focused on maximising value for its shareholders.
