Monument Notified by Odyssey of Major Milestone Delivery at Tuckanarra Gold Project
August 03 2023 - 9:00AM
Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) ("Monument" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has been notified by
Odyssey Gold Limited (“Odyssey”, ASX: ODY) that a major milestone
has been achieved according to Odyssey’s recent resource statement
at Tuckanarra Gold Project where Monument holds 20% free carrying
interest.
Maiden Tuckanarra Project Mineral Resource
estimate (MRE) totals 5.32Mt @ 2.2g/t Au for 376koz (above a
0.9-2.0g/t Au cut off). The estimate is prepared by Independent
Competent Persons, Snowden Optiro, BMGS and International Resource
Solutions in accordance with JORC principles and guidelines (2012
Edition).
CEO and President Cathy Zhai commented, “We are
very pleased to hear this good news. It is encouraging as
Tuckanarra exploration may provide Monument the opportunity to have
future ore produced by ODY to be fed into the Burnakura gold
processing plant, as well as it increases the upside value of
Monument’s holdings in this project.”
Pursuant to the joint venture arrangement
between Monument and Odyssey, an AUD$1,000,000 contingency cash
payment may become payable to Monument within 36 months of
completion of the acquisition, conditioned upon the delineation of
an independently assessed mineral resource in accordance with the
JORC Code (2012 Edition) of at least 100,000 ounces of gold at a
minimum resource grade of 1.55g/t in relation to Tuckanarra Gold
Project (the “Milestone Performance Consideration”). At the time
the 80% of Tuckanarra Gold Project sold to ODY, it contained a
historical indicated resource of 1.04 mt @ 1.65 g/t Au for 55.2 kOz
and a historical inferred resource of 0.92 mt @ 1.51 g/t Au for
44.6 kOz within eleven separate prospects, determined by Ravensgate
in its November 2012 “Independent Resource Model Report” according
to the JORC guidelines 2004.
The Company and Odyssey have agreed to defer the
Milestone Performance Consideration Payment (the “Performance
Payment”). Under the amended arrangement the AUD$1 million
Performance Payment shall be made on the date within six (6) months
after the date of satisfaction of the Milestone, which would be by
February 2, 2024.
In consideration for the deferral of Performance
Payment, Odyssey agrees to pay Monument interest on the outstanding
Performance Payment amount at a rate per annum equal to the US
Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus two percent (2.00%)
compounding monthly on and from the date which is 5 business days
after the satisfaction of the Milestone, until the Performance
Payment is made.
Monument has reserved the right to call back the
Performance Payment any time with 14 days’ notice at its sole
discretion five days after the date of satisfaction of the
Milestone Performance.
