Commenting on the divestment, Managing Director Jon Price said:
"The sale of the projects is in-line with our strategy of divesting non-core assets to fund the future growth of the company through exploration and mine development. The rationalisation of the Company's assets also reduces holding costs and distraction, as we focus on the core greater Boorara, Yarmany, Lakewood, Binduli project areas and underground development plans."
