“Execution of this agreement with Muccanabout aligns with our mandate to streamline the operations of the company which is focused on uranium and lithium exploration in Tanzania and Namibia,” said Managing Director Gino D’Anna.
Askari will receive AU$125,000 through the sale, which was announced on Friday (August 23). Muccanabout will make an initial cash payment of AU$55,000 (plus GST) within five business days of the deal’s execution.
The remaining AU$70,000 (plus GST) will be paid six months later, also in cash.
Transfer of full ownership will be performed after Muccanabout completes the second payment.
Mapping and rock chip sampling performed at the project returned copper grades of 6.78 percent, 4.35 percent, 2.02 percent and 1.85 percent, and silver grades of 11.1 grams per tonne, (g/t) 8.25 g/t and 6.42 g/t.
The company has a portfolio of lithium and rare earths assets in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
“The company continues to evaluate other opportunities to monetise its Australian-based exploration projects portfolio which will provide long-term capital savings to the Company and enhance operational transparency,” D’Anna said in Friday’s release, adding that Askari has also implemented several cash-preservation initiatives.
“We look forward to keeping our shareholders and investors updated as we progress.”
