Mambare Update
The Company has previously announced that it was in discussions with its partner Battery Metals Pty Ltd regarding the future operations and funding of the Oro Nickel Joint Venture. The new Executive team have spoken with the partner and expects to resolve the situation amicably. Prior to these calls and the announcement of the proposed appointment of the new Chairman, the partner had already initiated legal proceedings against the Company which resulted in the Company receiving a letter late on 20th December informing it of the proceedings. The Company is still meeting Battery Metals in Sydney in January to discuss and resolve the situation, and Battery Metals has stated that it will not progress any further legal activity during this period.
The Company continues to see significant value in its flagship asset at Mambare given the expected Increase in nickel and cobalt prices following the continued growth of the EV market and consequent increase in demand for battery metals.
