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's the Next US Copper Mine? 26 Copper Projects to Watch

Companies with upcoming copper mines in the US could be poised to benefit from tailwinds in the sector, including the new administration promising to cut "red tape" for critical minerals projects.

Copper demand is climbing quickly in recent years because of the rapid urbanization of the global south as well as the developing energy transition sectors. However, current copper mines are increasing in age and there is a lack of new copper mines to replace them, both due to limited greenfield exploration and long permitting times.

This has put the world's copper supply in a difficult situation, and experts expect to see deficits begin to emerge in 2025.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Euro Sun Gains 54 Percent as Copper Hits New High

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

The US Bureau of Economic Analysis released February personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index data on Friday (March 28). The figures show inflation increased 2.5 percent on an annualized basis in February, aligning with analyst expectations and reflecting no change from the 2.5 percent recorded in January.

US President Donald Trump has ordered a probe into the national security implications of copper imports, raising concerns that a 25 percent tariff could be imposed, similar to levies already placed on aluminum and steel.

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

Kiribati is reportedly in discussions with China to explore deep-sea mining opportunities, signaling a potential shift in its approach to tapping into its vast offshore mineral resources.

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.
