Victoria Gold Assets - Update on Agreement

 

 

12 June 2024

 

Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource exploration and development
company, with interests in gold, base metals, battery metals, and hydrocarbons
principally in Africa and Australia, announced on 13 March 2024 ("Transaction
Announcement") a conditional agreement to take 100% ownership of its
Australian Gold Subsidiary, New Ballarat Gold Corporation Plc ("NBGC"), which
in turn acts as the holding company of Red Rock Australasia Pty Ltd ("RRAL")
 by the purchase of the remaining 49.9% minority shareholding in NBGC from
Power Metal Resources Plc (the "Agreement").

 

RRAL holds 2,281 square kilometres of highly prospective gold tenements in the
Australian State of Victoria, with its 800 square kilometres Kilmore tenements
now creating some significant interest as they lie just to the west of ASX
listed Southern Cross Gold Limited's Sunday Creek gold discovery, and a 560 sq
km licence in Southern Australia.

 

Further to the Transaction Announcement, and the announcement of 10(th) June
2024, the Company announces the fulfilment or waiver of all conditions on
Tuesday 11(th) June 2024, the notification of the vendor to that effect, and
that consequently Completion will now occur within five days of 11(th) June
2024 by:

 

1)   The vendor delivering its shares in the holding company for the
Australian assets with a signed transfer;

2)   Red Rock delivering the convertible loan notes to the vendor; and

3)   The Company delivering 166,666,667 new shares in Red Rock and
accompanying warrants exercisable at 0.25p per share in Red Rock to the
vendor.

 

As explained in the Transaction Announcement, the Agreement is being treated
as a Related Party Transaction under the AIM Rules. Accordingly, the Directors
of Red Rock, all of whom are independent of the acquisition, consider,
following the results of the Company's due diligence inquiries, and having
consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider that the terms of the
Agreement are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are
concerned.

 

A further announcement will be made after Completion, and the Company will in
the near future provide information in relation to its recent technical work
and its exploration plans.

 

Red Rock Chairman Andrew Bell states: "We strongly believe in the
prospectivity of these assets and with a higher gold price, we are now again
engaging in third party discussions with a view to a possible listing of the
assets on an appropriate venue. We have the backing of major shareholders for
our cash commitments under this transaction including the first cash payment
of £250,000 due two months after Completion."
