Subject to the grant of the SPL, the Agreement stipulates the exploitation of precious metals can proceed under the following conditions:

• Any expenditures incurred in the process of exploitation are to funded by Mark Creasy and will be deducted from the value of any gold recovered (Net Value);
• The Net Value of any gold recovered (cash or physical form) to be divided 60/40 in favour of Peregrine;
• The SPL cannot be converted to a mining license and may not be advanced beyond 50m vertical depth from surface;
• Commencing from execution, the Agreement has a maximum term of three years and nine months;
• While Mr Creasy is responsible for and managing the SPL, as part of the Agreement, all activities are to be coordinated with Peregrine so that any significant mineralisation identified will be reported to the market in accordance with the Company’s continuous disclosure policy.

Having had a history of demonstrating spectacular shallow gold intercepts (Figures 3-6) (ASX Announcement: 5 August 2022), the Agreement recognises the significant potential of the Peninsula prospect and due to the Agreement being free carried through to gold monetisation, potentially provides the Company a pathway to generating cashflow at a time when the Australian gold price continues to reach all-time highs.

Technical Director of Peregrine Mr. George Merhi commented:

“It’s a pleasure to partner with a supportive shareholder with arguably the best track record for discovery and value creation in Australia on an initiative that will greatly advance our understanding of the geological potential of the Peninsula prospect. We look forward to updating shareholders once the SPL is granted.”
