Comet Resources

Extraordinary General Meeting Update

Comet Resources Ltd (Comet or the Company) (ASX:CRL) is announcing the cancellation of the planned Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of shareholders which was scheduled to be held on Monday 18 July 2022 at 10:00 am (WST) at 1176, Hay Street, West Perth WA 6005 (Meeting). The EGM pertained primarily to the proposed acquisition of the Mount Margaret Copper Project from Glencore plc (Glencore).


The Company has recently been in discussions with Glencore with respect to potentially improving the structure of the transaction whilst still meeting Glencore’s requirements. Discussions on proposed modifications to the transaction are incomplete but will inevitably result in material changes to the original agreement. For this reason, the EGM currently scheduled for shareholders to vote on the proposed acquisition has become redundant and is therefore cancelled.

The Company is working towards putting forward a revised transaction structure that meets all stakeholders’ requirements and will provide further advice at that time. Managing Director, Matthew O’Kane, will also hold another webinar once further advice is provided to answer shareholder questions regarding the proposed transaction and other key Company activities. It is anticipated that further advice will be provided prior to the close of July 2022.

This announcement has been authorised by the Board of Comet Resources Limited

About Comet Resources

Barraba Copper Project (NSW)

The 2,375ha exploration license that covers the project area, EL8492, is located near the town of Barraba, approximately 550km north of Sydney. It sits along the Peel Fault line and encompasses the historic Gulf Creek and Murchison copper mines. The region is known to host volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style mineralisation containing copper, zinc, lead and precious metals. Historical workings at Gulf Creek produced high-grade copper and zinc for a short period around the turn of the 19th century, and this area will form a key part of the initial exploration focus.

Northern Territory Projects (NT)

The portfolio of Northern Territory exploration licenses and exploration license applications covers an area of approximately 840km2. Although historical exploration results were indicative of near surface gold and copper mineralisation, very limited modern exploration has occurred. Comet plans to utilise modern exploration techniques to rapidly advance the scale of known mineralisation, especially where known geophysical and geochemical anomalies exist that have not been comprehensively drill tested.

What Was the Highest Price for Copper?

Strong demand in the face of looming supply shortages has pushed copper to new heights in recent years.

With a wide range of applications in nearly every sector, copper is by far the most industrious of the base metals. In fact, for decades, the copper price has been a key indicator of global economic health, earning the red metal the moniker “Dr. Copper.” Rising prices tend to signal a strong global economy, while a significant longer-term drop in the price of copper is often a symptom of economic instability.

After bottoming out at US$2.17 per pound, or US$5,203.58 per metric ton (MT), in mid-March 2020, copper has largely been on an upward trajectory.

Copper Soars to All-time High as Trump Unveils 50 Percent Tariff on Imports

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday (July 8) that he plans to impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper imports, a dramatic escalation of his administration’s use of targeted trade restrictions on national security grounds.

“I believe the tariff on copper, we're going to make 50 percent,” Trump said during a White House cabinet meeting.

Though he did not provide a timeline, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a subsequent CNBC interview that the tariff could take effect by late July or as early as August 1, with details to be posted on Trump’s Truth Social account.
