29 July 2022
Ormonde Mining plc
("Ormonde" or the "Company")
Sale of La Zarza Landholding, Drillcore and Data Assets,
Spain
Ormonde is pleased to announce that it is has entered into a
conditional framework agreement for the sale of its interests in
the La Zarza Copper-Gold Project in Spain ("La Zarza") for a cash
consideration of EUR 2.3 million (the "Sale") to La Zarza Mineria
Metalica S.L.U., a subsidiary of Spanish company Tharsis Mining
S.L., which controls the mining rights to La Zarza.
The Sale relates to the Company's landholding, drill core and
data assets associated with La Zarza . The Company has, for some
time, been advancing a disposal process in relation to La Zarza and
the Board, since its reconstruction in 2021, has been working to
monetise its interest in La Zarza. The Company valued its La Zarza
interests at EUR 2.0 million as at 31 December 2021, with the
assets represented in the financial statements as "Assets held for
sale". There were no profits or losses attributable to the La Zarza
assets for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Under the terms of the Sale agreement, which has been concluded
at a premium to the book value of EUR 2.0 million, the Company will
receive EUR 800,000 on completion of the Sale ("Completion"), with
the balance to be paid in three equal payments of EUR 500,000 on
the first, second and third anniversaries of Completion. Ormonde
will hold security over the deferred cash payments.
The sale is conditional on approval by Ormonde shareholders at
an Extraordinary General Meeting, details of which appear further
below.
Brendan McMorrow, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"This is an important milestone for Ormonde in positioning the
Company to e xecute new opportunities which leverage our financial
strength and have the prospect of generating value for shareholders
in the medium term.
Ormonde prepared a feasibility study for an underground mining
operation at La Zarza in 2008 which highlighted the need for a
larger resource to justify development. Progress thereafter has
been impeded by the Company owning the land but not the prospecting
rights.
To reach a Sale agreement to release value from these assets at
a premium to the book value is an excellent outcome for the Company
and its shareholders. It places the Company on a stronger financial
footing to acquire new projects in line with Ormonde's strategy to
generate shareholder value by leveraging its balance sheet and
resources."
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and AIM Rule 15
The Sale constitutes a disposal resulting in a fundamental
change in the business of Ormonde pursuant to Rule 15 of the AIM
Rules and requires the approval of the Company's shareholders
("Shareholders"). A circular, which will contain further details of
the Sale (the "Circular") and a notice of Extraordinary General
Meeting ("EGM"), is expected to be posted to Shareholders shortly
and will also be available on the Company's website at
www.ormondemining.com . The EGM is expected to be held on 28
September 2022 alongside the Company's Annual General Meeting.
The Company has received irrevocable undertakings from Thomas
Anderson to vote in favour of the resolutions in relation to the
Sale in respect of approximately 24.41% of the Company's issued
share capital as at the date of this announcement.
Contingent on the approval of the Sale by Shareholders, the
Company will become an AIM Rule 15 cash shell pursuant to the AIM
Rules and a cash shell pursuant to the Euronext Growth Rules
following completion of the Sale ("Completion").
The Company would therefore become a cash shell and, as such,
would be required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which
constitute(s) a reverse takeover on or before the date falling six
months and twelve months respectively from Completion, failing
which the Company's Ordinary Shares would then be suspended from
trading on AIM and Euronext Growth. Further details will be
included in the Circular.
