Receipt of Writ of Summons - Recently on 27 June 2019, # Minerals announced that it had been served with a writ of summons in relation to its termination of the acquisition agreement with BCD Resources NL (among other parties) to purchase all assets associated with the Beaconsfield gold processing plant.

The writ was basically seeking an order that # Minerals specifically perform its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement and do all things as may be necessary to ensure the Acquisition Agreement is carried into effect or alternatively damages.

# Minerals has strongly termed these claims as meritless and the company would defend the proceedings. Separately, # Minerals has also sought a return of the $ 250,000 deposit which it paid to BCD Resources NL under the Acquisition Agreement, which it believes it is entitled to.

# Project Update – On 18 June 2019, # Minerals informed the market that the assays from recently completed deep diamond drill-holes at the Thursday’s Gossan prospect, part of its 100%-owned # Copper-Gold Project (see figure 1) in western Victoria, have provided the Company with a strong vector to the target porphyry at depth.

Share Purchase Plan (SPP) - # Minerals announced on 9 May 2019 that its SPP, announced to the market on 16 April 2019, had closed oversubscribed. Under the SPP, # offered eligible shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for new shares up to a maximum value of $ 15,000 per eligible shareholder. The application received amounted to $ 1,108,500, exceeding the target cap of $ 1 million for the SPP and the oversubscription were accepted.

The SPP followed the successful completion of #’s placement to sophisticated and institutional investors which raised $ 3.2 million, and the $ 2 million placement to Titeline as advance payment of drilling services to be completed in the next 12 months.

The proceeds from SPP along with the Share Placement funds were indicated to be directed towards progressing drilling programs across the company’s key projects in Western Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, to complete the acquisition of the Beaconsfield gold processing facility and for working capital needs.

PolarX Limited

PolarX Limited (ASX:PXX), established in 1945 and based in Subiaco, Australia, is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties (copper and gold deposits) in the United States. Currently, the company is focussed on advancing works at the Alaska Range Project which contains the Caribou Dome Property and the Stellar Property.

The company has a market capitalisation of around AUD 32.05 million with approximately 372.71 million shares outstanding. Today, on 4 July 2019, the PXX stock settled the day’s trading at AUD 0.089, climbing up 3.49% by AUD 0.003 with approximately 774,363 shares traded.

Investment secured from Lundin Mining – On 4 June 2019, PolarX announced that Lundin Mining had agreed terms for a strategic earn?in joint venture over select porphyry Cu?Au targets in PolarX’s 100% owned Stellar Claims within its Alaska Range Project. The Zackly Cu?Au skarn claims are excluded from the earn?in area.

Source: Company’s announcement dated 4 June 2019

Under the agreement, Lundin Mining would subscribe for ~53.4 million ordinary shares in PolarX at AUD 0.08 per share for AUD 4.3 million, following which Lundin Mining would become PolarX’s largest shareholder with a 14.3% interest. Consequently, Lundin Mining would secure an exclusive option to enter an earn?in joint venture on porphyry Cu?Au targets within PolarX’s Stellar Claims.

PolarX has also agreed to direct the proceeds of this share subscription towards funding an exploration program on porphyry Cu?Au targets and aims to complete the same by end of this year. Lundin Mining can exercise the option to enter into a 3?year Earn?in Period for a joint venture at any time prior to Option Exercise Date

Quarterly Activities Report – During the March 2019 quarter, a 3D inversion modelling of the aeromagnetic survey at the Saturn prospect highlighted a steeply plunging intrusive cluster measuring 2km x 1km with a 3km vertical extent, which is adjacent to the high?grade Cu?Au mineralisation at Zackly. PolarX staked 30 additional State Mining Claims (~ 19.4 km²) covering the southern extent of the down?plunge target at Saturn.

The company had planned to start an Induced Polarisation survey to define drill targets at the Saturn prospect in the June 2019 quarter with drilling to follow in Q3 2019. PolarX also expects to shortly commence further drilling at Zackly to increase the size of the current resource.
