Impact’s Chairman Mr Peter Unsworth said:
“The past 18 months has seen a significant change in Impact’s focus from its projects in New South Wales and Queensland to Western Australia. This has been driven by Impact’s technical team who have rapidly assembled a large and significant portfolio of very prospective early stage projects in the emerging mineral province of south west Western Australia following the discovery of the world class Julimar platinum group metal (PGM)-nickel-copper discovery close to Perth (Chalice Mining NL).”
“These new projects are very poorly explored and yet, based on our early assessment and initial results, have significant potential for the discovery of a wide range of strategic and battery metals that are vital to the on-going move away from fossil fuels as the predominant supplier of global energy demand. In particular these metals include nickel, copper, PGM’s, lithium and rare earth elements (REE) and we are very pleased that the company’s early work has indicated the presence of all of these on its new portfolio” Mr Unsworth said.
“With this rights issue Impact will be funded for two to three years and be able to rapidly embark on an ambitious programme of exploration to generate and test by drilling a significant number of targets that have already been identified as well as help generate what will undoubtedly be a large number of other targets as work progresses across the portfolio”.
“The company is very excited about the potential of these projects and accordingly wishes to invite all current shareholders via this rights issue to participate in what we hope will be a very exciting time over the next 12 to 24 months”.
“I am also pleased to announce that your Directors will be taking up their full entitlements in the issue and we look forward to sharing the journey together”.
