During the quarter, the Company announced the acquisition of advanced gold projects in Cote d’Ivoire. (Refer to ASX Announcement 26 March 2024.) The Ferke and Odienne Projects in Cote d’Ivoire deliver Many Peaks with a solid foundation of exploration success, offering the potential for significant high-grade ounces in the near term. Both projects benefit from systematic geochemical coverage and high-resolution geophysics, which have confirmed gold mineralisation through drilling. Leveraging over US$4 million of previous expenditure has identified multiple ready-for-follow-up targets, including extension targets, presenting Many Peaks with a transformative acquisition opportunity with viable near-term resource potential. Many Peaks’ team boasts extensive West African operating experience tied to multiple discovery and development projects over the past 15 years and looks forward to operating in Cote d'Ivoire, an emerging premier jurisdiction within West Africa known for recent exploration and development successes.

Many Peaks entered into a binding Share Sale Agreement (Agreement) with Turaco Gold Limited (Turaco) to acquire its 89% interest in CDI Holdings (Guernsey) Ltd (CDI Holdings). CDI Holdings is an 89% subsidiary of Turaco, held with Predictive Discovery Limited (Predictive), holding an 11% free carry ownership in a joint venture with Turaco. The Agreement will trigger Turaco’s drag-along right in its joint venture with Predictive, whereby Many Peaks will also acquire Predictive’s remaining 11% interest and consolidate 100% ownership of the joint venture entity CDI Holdings.

CDI Holdings is the holding company for two wholly-owned Ivorian entities, including the Ivorian subsidiary party to a joint venture with Gold Ivoire Minerals SARL (GIV Joint Venture) in Cote d’Ivoire in which it has earned a 65% interest and retains an exclusive right to earn-in to an 85% interest by sole funding any project within four mineral licences in Cote d’Ivoire to feasibility study.

The consideration for the purchase of 100% of CDI Holdings will be an aggregate 5,617,978 fully paid ordinary shares in Many Peaks, subject to a 12-month voluntary escrow, to be issued under the Company’s capacity under ASX listing rule 7.1. Upon completion, Many Peaks will also assume a royalty deed for a 1% net smelter return royalty payable to Resolute (Treasury) Pty Ltd (Resolute)—further information on terms and conditions precedent outlined below.
