HIGHLIGHTS

The sale of the East Tennant Project to MDI, which has a considerable land position in the region, is a sensible consolidation that ensures SER’s targets will be tested and increases SER’s exposure to exploration success across the region.

- Obtaining any consent required under the Mining Act for any of the dealings with the Tenements under the SPA; and
- No event occurring prior to completion which materially and adversely affects the rights or interests proposed to be acquired by MDI.
- MDI will be issuing the consideration shares to SER out of its existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The shares issued to SER will be subject to 12-month escrow restriction.
