Under the terms of the Option Agreement, CNPL paid an option fee of $500,000 which was largely utilised to carry out technical due diligence on the ANP and to commence preparation of a business plan for the development of an open pit and underground mine together with downstream processing of nickel ore from the ANP.

The payment for this extension was non-refundable but was to be subtracted from the option fee. The Option Agreement provided CNPL with an option to acquire an interest in the ANP in two stages.
