Comet Resources Ltd (“Comet” or “the Company”) (ASX: CRL) is pleased to advise that it has now finalised its due diligence and has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of highly prospective copper-gold-zinc-silver-lead assets in the Northern Territory of Australia (“Portfolio”) from Bath Resources Pty Ltd (“Vendor” or “Bath”).

Commenting on the proposed acquisition, Comet Resources Managing Director Matthew O’Kane stated “With copper prices recently touching records highs, it’s a great time for us to add this portfolio of both advanced and early stage copper, gold and base metals targets to our existing copper exposure. Being located in Australia, a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction, they complement our existing copper and base metals project at Barraba in NSW and provide us with further exposure to copper upside. Industry analysts believe copper prices will continue to strengthen as a result of increased global infrastructure spending and the transition to clean energy. We look forward to getting onto the ground in the Northern Territory shortly to review the projects and make plans for the commencement of field exploration activities.”
