Highlights

Tempest Minerals has formally withdrawn from the Elephant Project Joint Venture to sharpen focus on core development assets.

A strategic review identified the need to streamline the company’s project portfolio.

Capital and operational resources will be redirected to priority assets, including projects in New Zealand.

The move reflects a targeted portfolio strategy aligned with long-term growth objectives.

Tempest Minerals Ltd (ASX:TEM) announced a strategic portfolio update on 10 April 2026, aimed at sharpening its focus on core development assets. As part of this update, the company has confirmed its decision to exit the Elephant Project Joint Venture following a detailed internal review.

While the project remains prospective, the company has chosen to prioritise the advancement of its key projects in Western Australia, along with its newly announced projects in New Zealand.

The withdrawal process has been initiated, with all relevant stakeholders formally notified. This move concludes the company’s financial and operational commitments associated with the project.

Background of the Joint Venture

TEM acquired a majority interest in the Elephant Project in 2024, assuming full responsibility for exploration activities under the joint venture agreement. However, a strategic review of its operations and projects led the board to reassess portfolio allocation, resulting in the decision to rationalise its holdings.

Refocus on Priority Assets

Following the exit, TEM will direct its capital and technical resources toward advancing key projects in Western Australia. This includes continued work at the Range Project in Mt Magnet, where recent drilling identified gold mineralisation.

In parallel, the company is prioritising due diligence at its newly announced projects in New Zealand.

The company intends to focus its resources on progressing exploration and development activities across its prioritised portfolio.

The withdrawal from the Elephant Project marks a shift in Tempest Minerals’ portfolio strategy, enabling a targeted approach to exploration and development. By reallocating capital and resources, the company is positioning itself to advance projects that align with its current operational priorities and long-term objectives.

TEM shares traded at AUD 0.006 per shares on 10 April 2026.
