Turaco Gold Limited (ASX | TCG) (‘Turaco’ or the ‘Company’ is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding term
sheet (‘Binding Term Sheet’ with Aurum Resources Ltd (‘Aurum’ for the divestment of the Boundiali exploration permit
(PR414) (‘Boundiali Permit’ in northern Cote d’Ivoire. Aurum recently acquired a controlling interest in two granted
exploration permits immediately to the north of the Boundiali Permit and is currently actively drilling on these permits.
The Boundiali Permit is part of the joint venture between Turaco and Predictive Discovery Ltd (‘Predictive’. In accordance
with the joint venture agreement, Predictive has provided its consent to the divestment with proceeds to be split
proportionate to each party’s joint venture interest (Turaco 89% and Predictive 11%).
In addition to the customary conditions, the sale is conditional upon Aurum obtaining a renewal of the Boundiali Permit
(or the granting of a replacement permit) and being satisfied that the terms of the renewal (or replacement permit) do
not restrict exploration or potential future mining rights, along with required Government approvals.
Managing Director, Justin Tremain commented:
“The divestment of the Boundiali Permit is consistent with Turaco’s previously stated intention to rationalise its
large exploration position in Cote d’Ivoire to focus on the Afema Gold Project in the southeast and the Eburnea
Gold Project in central Cote d’Ivoire. This follows the recently announced partnering on the Tongon North project
with Fortuna Silver Mines Inc where Turaco may potentially receive up to US$1.6 million cash, and the prior sale
of the 35% interest in the Boundiali North permit for 3,500m of diamond drilling at no charge which is currently
being undertaken at Afema. Funds realised from these divestments provide non-dilutive funding for Afema.”
