Under the agreement, the company is entitled to receive a cash payment of $400,000 in exchange for the disposition.
Mantle Mining CEO Tom de Vries said: “The agreement to sell Mantle’s non‐core projects is consistent with the company’s strategy first announced to the ASX on 22 August 2016.
“This will enable the company to focus its entire effort and resources to develop the significant opportunities that exist at the high‐grade Morning Star gold mine and our other projects in the eastern Victorian goldfields.”
In August last year, the company revealed its plans to focus on resuming production at the Morning Star gold mine in Victoria and place certain other assets on care and maintenance or set them aside for divestment.
