LCK has agreed upon the broad commercial terms under the MoU. The Company has also informed that it will immediately move on with the last stage of due diligence and negotiate the final acquisition terms and conditions with a target of completion in April 2022.
Why is the Mulpun acquisition important?
LCK stated that it has identified an attractive opportunity at Mulpun. Mulpun is in its advanced development stage, which was guided by CSIRO scientists earlier. The project is situated in an attractive jurisdiction for development. Chile is a significant spot for the Company's commercial development because of its high energy cost and dependency on imported coal, natural gas, and oil. Moreover, Chile has an educated workforce and a reliable legal system necessary for long-term business growth.
Meanwhile, on the ASX, LCK closed at AU$0.150 per share today.
