Nickel exploration and development African Eagle said it has completed the disposal of its Zambian copper assets to private miner Elephant Copper, finalizing the divestment of its non-core exploration assets. The deal, announced on July 27, included the sale of African Eagles wholly owned Katanga Resources and its 49.9% interest in Kujima Mining and Exploration for a consideration of 15 million shares in Elephant Copper, as well as a 2% net smelter return on the Katanga assets, which will be applicable once the assets reach production. The structure of the deal allows African Eagle to benefit from the further development of the copper assets, whilst enabling it to focus fully on the development of its flagship Dutwa Nickel Project in Tanzania. Elephant Copper has a number of projects in Namibia, Republic of Congo and Botswana. |
