Clarifies the Avebury Nickel announcement of the same day: EUR's proposal is a cash offer of A$125M, as reported in the media. It remains subject to the early-June court hearing, which could stop EUR advancing its proposals.
DRA's interim NPV6 for Wolfsberg is A$862M in an accelerated case: ~10,500tpa lithium hydroxide, 770,000tpa mining, US$26,800/t hydroxide price, with capex up 20% to US$508M. The DFS slips from end Q1 to Q3 2022, citing COVID and the Ukraine conflict.
Issues 230.8M placement shares from the A$30M raise announced 6 April, using existing placement capacity without shareholder vote, plus small option-exercise shares. Completes the share issue part of the raise; the attaching options still need approval.
Raises A$30M via placement at A$0.13 a share, with one option (A$0.18, expiring March 2025) per two shares; options need shareholder approval. Funds go to land purchase, a Zone 2 extension drill program, by-product testwork and SRK work. Ukraine work is suspended.
EV Resources (80% owner of Weinebene and Eastern Alps; EUR 20%) appoints geological consultants who recommend a diamond drilling program for Weinebene with two options. Permitting takes 8–12 weeks, drilling 8–10 weeks. A re-release of the same announcement EUR attached.
EUR welcomes partner EV Resources (formerly Jadar) hiring Austrian consultants who recommend a diamond drilling program at Weinebene, where EUR holds 20%. The joint working group will consider it; permitting is expected to take 8–12 weeks. Follows the November technical committee; drilling not yet committed.
Completes the royalty buy-back agreed in November by issuing 15.55M shares and 7.78M options (A$0.20, expiring Feb 2024) to the royalty holder, after AGM approval. Removes the legacy €1.50/t Wolfsberg royalty in exchange for dilution.
Half-year report to 31 December 2021 restates known events: the A$6.5M August placement, Millstone/Petro deal, Winance notes fully converted, Zhernov appointed director 22 Dec, and Sage moving to Executive Chairman. Financial figures are not in the text shown.
Issues 26.3M shares for Millstone's second A$2.5M tranche following AGM approval, plus small debt-settlement shares, option exercises, 21M unlisted options and 80M performance shares to directors Sage, Day and Carter. Routine issue notice, though the director performance shares add potential dilution.
EUR signs a non-binding agreement with commodities merchant Traxys to negotiate an offtake deal for Wolfsberg lithium hydroxide, with exclusivity to end of Q1 2022. Traxys will help arrange project finance and consider investing directly. First offtake step; nothing binding yet.
First Millstone tranche completes: A$2.5M received for 26,310,749 shares. Part of the A$20M subscription tied to the Ukraine Petro Consulting acquisition announced in November; A$2.5M more needs AGM approval and A$15M comes on completion of that acquisition.
Anzaplan testwork on 2013 bulk samples produced lithium hydroxide and 99.6% lithium carbonate, with impurities below the stated specifications. Supports the DFS metallurgy; no offtake or commercial terms mentioned.
Jadar Resources, which owns 80% of the Weinebene and Eastern Alps projects next to Wolfsberg (EUR holds 20%), signs a non-binding MOU with Chinese lithium producer Yahua. Yahua may take up to 80M shares (~10%) at A$0.045. Partnership agreement due within 6 months.
Total Wolfsberg resource rises 11% to 12.9Mt at 1.00% Li2O, adding an Inferred 3.1Mt at 0.90% to the 9.7Mt Measured and Indicated. This beats the ~11Mt target and chairman says mine life should extend beyond the PFS.
Shares now quoted on the US OTCQB market, the listing flagged for October. ASX stays the primary listing. The release gives the symbol as EURIF, though it also shows EULIF elsewhere.
Jadar Resources (owner of 80% of the neighbouring Weinebene and Eastern Alps projects) and EUR form a Technical Advisory Committee, Tony Sage and Luke Martino, to review drilling and plan follow-up work. Planning step only; no drilling committed.
Wolfsberg Measured and Indicated resource rises about 54%, from 6.3Mt at 1.17% to 9.7Mt at 1.03% Li2O, after the 20-hole infill program. Inferred estimate still to come. EUR also agrees to buy back a legacy €1.50 per tonne royalty.
Replying to ASX's 25 October price query, the company says it was then confidential in talks to buy Petro Consulting. It also cites the OTC listing plan, pending assay results and lithium price media. This explains the earlier suspension.
