Sorby Hills Project
Boab option to acquire 100% Interest
Terms of the Agreement (See ASX Announcement 23 September 2024)
•
12-month option for Boab to acquire Yuguang’s 25% interest in Sorby Hills,
increasing Boab’s current 75% interest in Sorby Hills to 100%.
•
During the option period, Boab will carry Yuguang’s joint venture expenses and in
turn, will have full control over joint venture budgets and work programs.
•
Should the option be exercised, Boab will pay Yuguang:
•
+218kt Concentrate
+137kt Payable Lead
+4.3Moz Payable Silver
+A$103M NPV
o
Tranche 1: A$12.5M upon exercise of the option and the concurrent
acquisition of Yuguang’s 25% Joint Venture interest;
o
Tranche 2: A$5.5M payable within 12 months from the commencement of
concentrate production at Sorby Hills; and
Attributable to Boab based on
the Sorby Hills FEED Study
o
Tranche 3: A$5.0M payable within 18 months from the commencement of
concentrate production at Sorby Hills.
ASX Release 6 June 2024
The ability to exercise the option is subject to Boab reaching a Final Investment
Decision (FID) on the Sorby Hills Project by September 2025.
Importantly, the option agreement:

requires no immediate payment to Yuguang and allows for the Tranche 1
payment to be met with funds raised at FID; and
•
provides a new basis on which to engage potential Offtakers and Financiers
