Orange Minerals (OMX) will acquire the Wisemans Creek and Ophir tenements in New South Wales from Godolphin Resources.
The companies signed a binding term sheet for a total consideration of $550,000, which will be settled in cash and equity.
The tenements are currently subject to farm-in and joint venture agreements with Godolphin. This could see Orange earn up to 70 per cent in each tenement by spending $2 million by 2026.
The company said the acquisition provides it a chance to acquire 100 per cent of the project at a discount to the joint venture expenditure.
Managing Director David Greenwood said the company has a number of targets it wants to explore.
“The outright purchase of the Wisemans Creek and Ophir tenements importantly gives
Orange 100% control of the tenements, allows Orange to manage exploration activities in its own timeframes & effectively steer its own destiny,” he said.
“A drill programme is planned at Wisemans in the short term to test a number of targets where previous exploration had significant drill hole intersections.”
Shares were trading 3.57 per cent higher today at 14.5 cents each at 12:40 pm AEDT.
