On December 24, 2018, Doray Minerals Limited (ASX:DRM) announced that it has signed a binding contract to divest its two projects namely Andy Well and Gnaweeda Gold Projects to Westgold Resource Limited.
The key highlights of the following deal:
WestGold will pay up to an amount of $15 million in cash and shares. However, $9 million will be paid on completion of the two projects on the following terms.
- $2.5 million in cash will be paid with $6.5 million in Westgold shares on completion of the project which is expected in February 2019.
- $2.0 million in cash will be paid after production of one million ounces by WestGold from the gold projects.
- $2.0 million in cash will be paid after production of 2.5 million ounces by WestGold from the gold projects.
- $2.0 million in cash will be paid after production of five million ounces by WestGold from the gold projects. Â
However, this agreement with WestGold will not impact its merger with Silver Lake Resources via a scheme of arrangement. The divestment of the Andy Well and Gnaweeda Gold Projects will lead to greater value for the shareholders of Doray since WestGold Resource is a highly experienced mining company. The new agreement will deliver upfront and milestone payments to Doray and will expose its shareholders to a potential upside performance of the gold projects.
The new term-sheet with WestGold is a termination of previous announcement agreement with Galane. The Board of the company is positive about this new agreement and believe that this is to be a better outcome for the company than the previous agreement with Galane.
