How LVT came into existence?

At that time, the company wholly owned the Nuurst Thermal Coal Project in Mongolia; however, in November 2014, the company announced a highly conditional agreement to sell the project.
In April 2015, the company executed a binding conditional share sale agreement to acquire LiveTiles Holdings Pty Ltd, changing its activities from a mineral resource exploration company to an IT company.
The company’s name was changed to LiveTiles Limited following the completion of the acquisition and re-listing on ASX in 2015.

Moreover, to available these, the end users would not be required to leave the LVT platform.
