Rights Issue to be extended to 20 May 2016
Sovereign Gold Company Ltd (Sovereign Gold or the Company) (ASX Code: SOC) is pleased to advise shareholders the Board of Directors has completed a strategic review on its assets and company direction. The board sees considerable upside to shareholder value by delivering quality Gold and Lithium opportunities to add to its existing resources portfolio.
Qualifying Statements
The information regarding the Mineral Resource is extracted from the report entitled “Hobbs Pipe Mineral Resource Update Additional Information” created 27[th] December 2013 and is available to view on sovereigngold.com.au/investors.htm.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.
Sovereign Gold has been assessing domestic and international gold and lithium opportunities with a focus of acquiring projects near known well documented Lithium discoveries and production areas.
The Board is currently in discussions regarding a Lithium opportunity, which satisfies its investment criteria and will advise the market if discussions become exclusive.
In keeping with the board gold focus, it has appointed independent consultants Cadre Geology and Mining Pty Ltd (“Cadre”) to work with Sovereign’s chief geologist Michael Leu to review prospectivity, scrutinise potential for mining operations, review drill hole data and undertake resource development planning. Mt Adrah remains a strong focus for the company and intends to fund drilling using its own funds or seeking a joint venture partner.
The Company believes the additional acquisition of prospective gold and lithium assets will strength its resources portfolio and provide upside to shareholders. Sovereign is not limiting its scope to Australia or deposit style, but is seeking a significant project of demonstrable potential, size and, ideally, short lead time to development.
