Furthermore, Codrus will retain the right to conduct exploration activities on the tenements for the minerals it holds rights to.

Codrus managing director Shannan Bamforth said: “The agreement to divest the gold rights at Silver Swan South to FMR Investments represents a sensible and logical rationalisation of our portfolio. As an operating mining company with a gold mine situated close by, FMR is the logical partner for us to team up with to explore for and develop any gold discoveries at Silver Swan South.

“The transaction crystallises $300,000 in cash to strengthen our treasury position to $1.9m to underpin ongoing exploration activities, with Codrus also retaining exposure to future upside from production via a 2.5% NSR royalty.

“At the same time, Codrus retains the rights to explore for nickel and base metals at Silver Swan South.”
