PAM Secures A$35 Million Capital Commitment Agreement Commitment Positions PAM to Deliver Significant Project Outcomes Company to be re-named Flagship Minerals Limited

Battery and critical metals explorer and developer, Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) (“PAM” or ”the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has entered into a binding Capital Commitment Agreement (“Facility”) with New York based Global Emerging Markets Group for a 4 year $35 million equity investment commitment, providing PAM with a reliable source of equity funding to see it through to JORC Resource and Pre-Feasibility at its Rosario Copper and Tama Atacama Lithium projects.


Highlights

  • 4 Year $35 Million equity investment via Capital Commitment Agreement (Facility) secured.
  • Facility with Global Emerging Markets Group, a $3.4 billion alternative assets management group.
  • Facility significantly reduces PAM’s capital raising risks but maintains PAM’s capital raising flexibility.
  • Facility structured to incentivise GEM to build value in PAM, with equity commitments at fixed pricing reflecting traditional capital raising structures.
  • Facility potentially funds PAM through to Resource and Preliminary Feasibility at Rosario Copper and Tama Atacama Lithium Projects.
  • PAM will seek shareholder approval to rename the Company ‘Flagship Minerals Limited’.

Pan Asia Metals’ Managing Director, Paul Lock, commented:

“We have been working on this Capital Commitment Agreement with GEM for several months and have found the GEM team constructive and collegiate. The facility provides PAM a pathway to Resource definition and pre-feasibility at both the Rosario Copper and Tama Atacama Lithium projects, as well as working capital for the Company’s other needs. I am also pleased to put forward to our shareholders a proposal for a company name change to Flagship Minerals Limited. We are seeking the name change as we have noticed confusion from investors regarding the Company’s geographic focus.”

The Company will also seek shareholder approval to be renamed Flagship Minerals Limited. The name change marks a break in PAM’s exclusive geographic focus on Asia.

Global Emerging Markets (“GEM”) is a $3.4 billion alternative investment group that manages a diverse set of investment vehicles focused on emerging markets across the world, having completed over 570 transactions in 70 countries. GEM’s investment vehicles provide the group and its investors with a diversified portfolio of asset classes that span the global private investing spectrum. Each investment vehicle has a different degree of operational control, risk-adjusted return and liquidity profile, providing GEM and its partners with exposure to Small-Mid Cap Management Buyouts, Private Investments in Public Equities (PIPE's) and select venture investments.

The GEM Facility will be primarily employed for Resource definition and preliminary feasibility work at the Company’s Rosario Copper and Tama Atacama Lithium projects. The GEM facility also positions PAM to undertake strategic acquisitions, should appropriate opportunities present.

The PAM Board is of the opinion that the GEM Facility is a transformative step for the Company, providing a pathway for near and medium term funding requirements but not limiting the Company from meeting its capital requirements from other sources, including traditional equity capital and convertible notes.

Key Terms of the GEM Capital Commitment Agreement

The Capital Commitment Agreement between the Company, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited, provides the Company the option, but not the obligation, to draw down up to an aggregate $35 million at any point during the 4 year term of the Facility, subject to certain conditions, including the provision of a drawdown notice to commence a 15 trading days pricing period, with the subscription price being 90% of the higher of:

a. The average closing bid price of PAM shares as quoted by ASX over the pricing period; or

b. A fixed floor price nominated by PAM equal or higher than the closing price immediately preceding the Capital Call; and

the Company’s shares are continuously quoted on ASX during the 15 days prior to the Capital Call. The quantum of the first 3 drawdowns can be for up to $1.5 million each and the following 3 for up to $5 million each for up to an aggregate $19.5 million. The remaining drawdowns and outstanding Facility after the initial 6 drawdowns are limited to 700% of the daily trading volume and GEM may opt to subscribe for 50% to 200% of the drawdown face value provided that any issue of Shares to GEM (or its nominee) would not be a breach of any law or the ASX Listing Rules, including GEM breaching the 19.9% threshold of issued Shares held.

The Company will pay GEM a fee of 2% of the Capital Commitment of $35 million, or A$700,000, within 12 months, exclusive of GST, which is payable in cash and/or shares at the Company’s election. The Company will also issue GEM with 2 tranches of 10 million 5 year call options with a strike price of 12.5c and 20c and expiring 5 years from issue, subject to Shareholder approval.

Surge in Copper Demand Re-energises Cobar Basin’s Underexplored Resource Potential

The Cobar Basin in central New South Wales, Australia, may be emerging as a key focus for investors positioning for the next wave of copper supply. With a looming global shortage of the red metal and long-term demand being driven by electrification and decarbonisation, savvy investors are turning to proven but underexplored regions like Cobar — home to some of Australia’s highest-grade copper and polymetallic deposits.

Located within a region that holds 12 percent of Australia’s economic demonstrated copper resource, the Cobar Basin is backed by more than a century of mining success, strong infrastructure and modern exploration upside. With such high resource potential, junior explorers are keen to capitalise on the region’s rich copper history and established infrastructure.
