Adriatic Metals PLC (ASX:ADT, LSE:ADT1) is pleased to announce
that it has completed the acquisition of the entire issued share
capital of RAS Metals d.o.o ("RAS Metals") under an agreement held
by Tethyan Resource Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company.
The RAS Metals assets include the exploration licences for both
Kizevak and Sastavci (together, the "Raska Project").
The consideration paid for the remaining 90% of the shares in
RAS Metals that the Company did not already hold was EUR 1,365,000
in cash plus the allotment of 166,000 Ordinary shares of 0.013355p
each in the Company ("Shares").
Additionally, there is deferred consideration of EUR 500,000 in
cash, payable on 14 May 2022, and 498,000 Ordinary shares in the
Company that will be allotted in three equal tranches on or around
22 August 2021, 22 February 2022 & 22 August 2022.
The Shares rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary shares and
application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority and
the London Stock Exchange for the Shares to be admitted to the
standard segment of the Official List of the London Stock Exchange.
Admission of the Shares is expected on 2 March 2021.
Since the Tethyan acquisition last year, 11,000m of diamond core
("DC") drilling has been completed on the Raska licenses. Drilling
has been focussed around the area South East of Kizevak, where
under the prior ownership of Tethyan, thick intersections of
high-grade mineralisation were drilled. See Tethyan announcement on
04 September 2018 for more information. Adriatic has a further
25,000m of step-out DC drilling planned across the Raska Project
during 2021.
Paul Cronin, Adriatic's Managing Director and CEO commented,
"From the work done following the completion of the Tethyan
acquisition, exercising the option to acquire the remaining 90% of
RAS Metals was a simple decision to make. We see significant
exploration potential across the Raska Project and consolidating
the region makes it easier to implement our strategy for
Raska."
