As per the Investment Agreement with CD Capital, the Company is to use its "best endeavours" to distribute at least 90% of its holding in Hampton Mining Pty Ltd (Hampton) to its shareholders within six months (In Specie Distribution). Hampton is a wholly owned subsidiary of Metminco which is to hold 100% of the Company's interest in LCH (owner of the Los Calatos Project).

Over the last 6 months the Company has been engaged in resolving complex funding, legal and tax arrangements relating to the distribution.
