Here are the important terms of the agreement:
- The duration of the option is of nine months, during which the company is supposed to complete due diligence, followed by assuming all responsibility to maintain the tenements in proper condition.
- As per the terms, Narryer paid a non-refundable option fee worth AU$20,000 excluding GST on signing the option.
- Upon exercising the option, the vendor will receive a fee of AU$80,000 in cash, with an additional AU$140,000 in either cash and/or shares at Narryer Metals’ discretion.
- Furthermore, the vendor is also supposed to receive a 1.5% NSR royalty on any mineral produced.
Narryer shared that the historic exploration drilling at the Rocky Gull project has shown significant REE mineralisation in saprolite with geological logging and geochemistry. Therefore, historical drilling at Rocky Gull has proven the potential for ionic absorbed clay-hosted REE mineralisation. Previous exploration work of the area has also shown good prospects for both magmatic and lateritic Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation.
