MetalsTech (ASX:MTC) secures $18M deal with LRC for lithium assets
Materials
ASX:MTC- MetalsTech (MTC) and battery materials investor Lithium Royalty Corp (LRC) have signed an $18 million deal in regard to MTC's lithium assets in Canada
- LRC will pay MetalsTech $6 million to gain a 3 per cent gross revenue royalty over the Cancet, Adina and Sirmac-Clapier lithium projects
- MetalsTech will use the money to advance resource drilling and a scoping study at its Sturec Gold Mine in Slovakia
- The next phase of the deal involves the spin-out of these lithium assets into Winsome Resources, which plans to list on the ASX under the ticker code 'WR1'
- Subject to approval, MTC shareholders will receive a proposed $9 million worth of shares in WR1
- LRC has also agreed to invest $3 million in Winsome Resources' initial public offering (IPO) at an assumed price of 20 cents per share
MetalsTech (MTC) and Lithium Royalty Corp (LRC) have signed a binding agreement in regards to MTC's lithium assets.
The $18 million deal will be split into three payments with the first being a $6 million cash payment to MetalsTech in exchange for a 3 per cent gross revenue royalty over the Cancet, Adina and Sirmac-Clapier lithium projects in Canada.
The 3 per cent royalty only applies to lithium, with MetalsTech retaining gold rights over these assets. The company will use the money to accelerate resource expansion and a scoping study at its Sturec Gold Mine in Slovakia.
The second stage involves the spin-out of these lithium assets through the separate ASX listing of Winsome Resources (WR1).
Subject to approval, MTC shareholders will receive a proposed $9 million worth of shares in WR1 which equates to 45 million WR1 shares distributed to MetalsTech's shareholders.
MTC currently has 153.8 million shares on issue so this is equivalent to one free WR1 20-cent share for every 3.4 MTC shares held.
"The proposed deal with Lithium Royalty Corp strikes the right risk and reward balance for our shareholders as well as providing a significant non-dilutive cash injection to allow MetalsTech to expand on an already incredibly successful resource expansion drilling program at our flagship Sturec Gold Mine," Chairman Russell Moran said.
LRC has also agreed to cornerstone Winsome Resources' initial public offering (IPO). The battery materials investor will invest $3 million in WR1 at an IPO equivalent price which is assumed to be 20 cents per share.
"Our shareholders will also be rewarded with a significant return in the form of free 20-cent shares in Winsome Resources which will be able to move forward with strong cornerstone investor support and an experienced management team," he added.
Winsome Resources has lodged a submission to the ASX to determine the suitability of the assets and WR1's capital structure.
The ASX provided its feedback which requires WR1 appointing additional directors that have significant ASX experience and appointing a lead manager to its IPO.
As it turns out, the company will be led by Chris Evans as Executive Director and MetalsTech's Non-Executive Director, Dr Qingtao Zeng, who'll act as Technical Director.
MetalsTech (ASX:MTC) identifies more high-grade gold at Sturec
- Diamond drilling at MetalsTech's (MTC) Sturec Gold Mine in Slovakia continues to deliver high-grade results
- The company said the underground drilling showed the thick continuous zones of gold mineralisation continues along strike from the current resource
- MTC previously identified multiple zones of visible gold in one of the diamond drill holes, with further assays now received
- Best results include five metres at 20.46 g/t gold and 21.6 g/t silver from 92 metres in UGA-12 and four metres at 10.86 g/t gold and 36.2 g/t silver from 34 metres in UGA-07
- Further assay results are still outstanding for three holes, while a second drill rig is also being sent to the site to carry out additional drilling
- MetalsTech shares are trading for 17.5 cents per share
Diamond drilling at MetalsTech's (MTC) Sturec Gold Mine in Slovakia continues to deliver high-grade results.
The materials stock has reported more results from the underground drilling program, where 14 holes have been completed to date.
MTC said the drilling at Sturec continues to demonstrate the thick continuous zones of gold mineralisation continue along strike from the current resource boundary.
The company previously identified multiple zones of visible gold in one of the diamond drill holes, with further assays now received.
Best results from this latest round of assays include five metres at 20.46 g/t gold and 21.6 g/t silver from 92 metres in UGA-12, as well as four metres at 10.86 g/t gold and 36.2 g/t silver from 34 metres in UGA-07.
Results were also returned from hole UGA-10 and UGA-09, which was positioned above UGA-05, and both increased the known mineralised zone of the previous drill hole.
Moving forward, MetalsTech expects more results from the drilling program after carrying out the additional hole sampling.
The company also stated that a second drill site was being set up at Sturec to carry out additional down-dip and strike extension drilling.

MetalsTech (MTC) has proposed a spin-out of its high-grade lithium assets in Quebec, Canada.
The spin-out will create a new company, which will be a wholly owned Australian subsidiary of MetalsTech.
The Canadian assets include the Cancet Lithium Project and cover 9584 hectares of prospective high-grade lithium.
Under the agreement, the new company will be incorporated with one share on issue, which will be owned by MTC.
The new company will then enter a share sale agreement, where it will buy all of the shares that MTC holds in the Quebec assets.
In conjunction with the spin-out, the newly created company will undertake an initial public offer (IPO) of its securities. Under the IPO, the new company is aiming to raise up to $8 million.
However, the spinout deal will need to be approved by shareholders.
If approved, MTC is planning to appoint lithium industry veteran Chris Evans as its Executive for lithium operations, initially on a consultancy basis, to help drive the company's lithium strategy.
Notably, this role is could potentially expand with the new company, under the spinout.
Chris is an experienced project delivery and operational management expert who, as CEO, was responsible for building and bringing the Pilganaoora lithium mine into operation.
On the market this afternoon, MetalsTech is up 5.88 per cent and is trading at 18 cents per share at 1:05 pm AEDT.

METALSTECH FAST TRACKS DRILLING AT STUREC GOLD MINE
MetalsTech Fast Tracks Drilling
MetalsTech Limited (ASX:MTC) has announced that it will commence drilling at its 100% owned Sturec Gold Mine in Slovakia. Up to 9 holes have been planned across two locations for up to 3,000m of diamond core drilling. The Company will take drilling equipment several hundred metres down the existing Adrej Adit, where it will orientate the rig towards what MetalsTech believes could be a significant down plunge extension of the high grade gold mineralisation zone of the mine. By drilling from underground, the Company can start drilling immediately while it waits for permits for surface drilling and it is able to reduce the total drill length required to hit the high grade zone, thereby reducing the total cost of the program.
Drilling will focus on chasing high grade mineralisation identified in STOR 3.11 which intersected 89.0m @ 6.9g/t Au and 23.6g/t Ag from 114m to 203m; within a broader intersection of 137.3m @ 4.6g/t Au and 16.5g/t Ag from 67.7m to 205m at Sturec.
MetalsTech is currently permitting up to a further 36 diamond drill holes orientated from surface which it hopes to start drilling this quarter. These holes will attack the interpreted high grade zone from a different angle as well as test the Vratislav and Wolf Exploration target zones adjacent to the Sturec resource where high grade gold mining has occurred previously. Demonstrating the growth potential of the overall Sturec deposit is a key catalyst.
