Highlights
Westgold has executed a binding Asset Sale Agreement and Royalty Agreement with
Great Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: GBR) to divest the Peak Hill Gold Project – for
total consideration of $58.3M plus a 1.0% NSR royalty.
Consideration comprises $25.0M in cash, $33.3M in GBR scrip (representing 19.9%
interest post-completion) and a 1.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty – payable on all
future production from Peak Hill.
Westgold has entered into an Ore Purchase Agreement (OPA) with Great Boulder – under which and subject to completion of the transaction, ore from Peak Hill may be processed at Westgold’s Murchison processing hubs.
Westgold and Great Boulder have also entered into a non-binding Strategic
Collaboration Agreement (SCA) – to evaluate options that could fast track Great Boulder’s Side Well Gold Project.
The transaction is consistent with Westgold’s strategy – to optimise our portfolio – and
focus on expanding our larger, core operating mines and processing hubs.
.
Westgold Managing Director and CEO Wayne Bramwell commented:
“Peak Hill is a non-core asset for Westgold, and Great Boulder is a logical acquirer given its regional focus in the Murchison.
“Subject to completion, the Transaction delivers upfront cash, equity exposure and a 1.0% NSR royalty, and establishes a framework to process Peak Hill ore through Westgold’s Murchison hubs.
“The collaboration agreement also provides potential optionality for Great Boulder’s Side Well ore.
“Peak Hill is not in our 5-year plan, and this divestment supports our focus on larger, core mines and processing hubs. This financial year, our optimisation program has delivered $208M in immediate value.”
