As quoted in the press release:
For the coal assets, Phillips River will pay an amount determined by an independent valuation which, after deduction of an initial $450,000 payment to Lara, will be satisfied by the issuance of shares of Phillips River (split 75% to Kiwanda and 25% to Lara) at a deemed price of A$ 0.20 each. Of such shares, 60% will be paid on closing and the remaining 40% will be paid on achievement of production and resource establishment milestones. The amount payable for the phosphate assets will also be determined by an independent valuation, the first 50% of which will be paid on closing and the remaining 50% of which will be paid on achievement of production and resource establishment milestones. Phillips River has also agreed to reimburse Lara $770,000 (inclusive of the foregoing $450,000) of the costs incurred by Lara in acquiring and maintaining these interests, with $200,000 paid on signing of the Heads of Agreement and the remainder upon closing the transaction.
