Evrima PLC
("Evrima" or the "Company")
AQSE: EVA
Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30th June 2021
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the unaudited interim results for Evrima plc (AQSE:
EVA) for the period ended 30th June 2021. The financial statements below have
not been reviewed by the Company's auditors.
The Company has committed to creating an investment entity focused primarily on
opportunities in the natural resource industry with a focused and coherent
investment strategy that the Board believes provides shareholders with unique
optionality.
Evrima seeks to evaluate investment opportunities offering attractive entries
and which, if successful, result in valuation uplifts sufficient to reduce the
onus of maintaining its investment position through successive capital rounds
and therefore of the Company itself needing to access ever-further capital
through equity and debt financings. The Company has focused its efforts on the
identification of base and industrial mineral opportunities in Botswana and has
successfully executed several investments during the first half of 2021.
Premium Nickel Resources Corporation ("PNRC")
In the period ended 30th June 2021, the Company increased its holding in PNRC.
Under the Company's investment commitment and the terms of the subscription
agreement entered into with PNRC, Evrima has accumulated through private
placement participation 1,000,000 shares of PNRC representing, 1.37% of the
latter's issued share capital.
In February 2021, PNRC announced that it had been selected as the preferred
bidder for the Botswana nickel-copper-cobalt ("Ni-Cu-Co") assets formerly
operated by BCL Limited ("BCL"), and currently in liquidation. In June 2020,
PNR had submitted an indicative offer to the BCL Liquidator, to acquire the
formerly- producing Selebi-Phikwe, Tati Phoenix and Selkirk Mines as well as
regional exploration joint ventures on highly prospective Ni-Cu-Co projects
located in Botswana. On February 10th 2021 the Honourable Moagi Lefoko, the
Minister of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security of
Botswana, affirmed in Parliament the press release by the Liquidator for the
BCL Group of Companies, stating that PNRC had been selected as the preferred
bidder to acquire the assets formerly owned by BCL.
Eastport Ventures Inc ("Eastport Ventures")
During the period under review the Company also entered into a non-binding
investment memorandum with Eastport Ventures in which the Company conditionally
agreed that, following the commissioning of an independent valuation opinion
on Eastport Ventures, it would proceed with a cornerstone investment in
Eastport Ventures prior to the latter company embarking on the process of a
public listing.
Following the balance sheet date, Evrima has acquired a 1.62% interest
in Eastport Ventures through a subscription for new ordinary shares of Eastport
Ventures. Evrima has subscribed for 523,667 units in this pre-IPO financing
with each unit having a subscription price of $0.30¢ and consisting of one new
share and one subscription warrant ("Warrant"). The Warrants have a strike
price of $0.60¢ and a life of five years.
The Company has also secured an exclusive subscription agreement that entitles
Evrima to subscribe for up to a further 2,000,000 new shares on like terms for
a period of 45 business days from the date of its original subscription.
Eastport Ventures is now entering an extremely active period of exploration as
it commenced its maiden drill campaign at Jwaneng North, a diamond project
adjacent to the Jwaneng Mine owned by Debswana where, earlier this year, the
third-largest diamond discovery in Botswana was made. On completion of its
drilling programme at Jwaneng, Eastport is also scheduled to undertake a 2,500m
- 5,000m diamond drilling programme at the Matsitama Copper Project, where
historic drill intercepts report over mineable widths and depths copper grades
of greater than 4%.
I look forward to updating the market on the developments with this new
investee company as it seeks to augment the value of its underlying assets
through strategic exploration and development and it works to consummate a
successful going-public transaction, the current preference being for a reverse
takeover or initial public offering on a recognised investment exchange.
Kalahari Key Mineral Exploration ("Kalahari Key")
In September 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with two of the
four founders of Kalahari Key to acquire these founders' equity interests in
Kalahari Key. The terms of the option allowed Evrima to acquire a further 17.2%
equity interest. In addition to increasing Evrima's exposure to a pre-existing
investment it enabled the Company to develop a strong working relationship with
the two Kalahari Key founders mentioned and to welcome them as notifiable
shareholders of Evrima. Evrima owns 19.6% of Kalahari Key and is now the
second-largest shareholder of that company.
