True North Copper

Company Update and Appointment of Voluntary Administrators

On 21 October 2024, the Directors of True North Copper Ltd (ASX:TNC) (and its subsidiaries) appointed Richard Tucker and Tony Miskiewicz of KordaMentha as Voluntary Administrators of the below entities:

  • True North Copper Limited (ACN 119 421 868)
  • TNC Mining Pty Ltd (ACN 652 408 378)
  • CopperCorp Pty Ltd (ACN 649 946 305)
  • North West Copper Pty Ltd (ACN 661 786 956)
  • TNC Asset Holding Pty Ltd (ACN 652 599 687)
    (all Administrators Appointed) (together ‘the Group’)

The decision has come after a period of extensive negotiations with the Company's debt provider, largest shareholder and other potential equity providers.

The decision is regrettable especially as mining activities at Wallace North, part of the Cloncurry Copper Project, ramp up on schedule with the first oxide ore placed onto the heap leach pads at Cloncurry earlier this month. In addition, recent exploration at Mt Oxide partly funded by a CEI grant from the Queensland Government has identified a number of highly prospective targets for drilling with a high probability of making more discoveries like the Vero deposit.

The Directors wish to thank all of the Company's employees and consultants as they have worked tirelessly to accomplish the above. The local community is also highly supportive of the Company and its operations in the region.

With cash resources running down and no prospects of being able to draw on existing facilities or raise additional equity or debt before the scheduled AGM the Directors appointed the Administrators.

The Administrators are undertaking an urgent assessment of the Group’s operations and will shortly be commencing a dual- track recapitalisation and sale process for the Group. In this regard, the Administrators are seeking urgent expressions of interest to acquire the Group as a whole or individual projects/assets.

On a monthly basis, inflation rose by 0.3 percent, also matching January’s increase.

Kiribati Explores Deep-Sea Mining Deal with China Amid Global Regulatory Talks

The Pacific island nation holds the exploration rights to a 75,000 square kilometer area in the Pacific Ocean, a region believed to contain valuable deposits of cobalt, nickel, and copper — key materials for the global battery industry.

The talks between Kiribati and Chinese officials come after the collapse of a previous agreement with the Metals Company (TMC) (NASDAQ:TMC), a Canada-based deep-sea mining outfit.
