SKY ENTERS INTO OPTION AGREEMENT TO DIVEST
THE GALWADGERE PROJECT
SKY Metals has entered into an option to purchase agreement with Burrendong
Minerals Ltd (BML) for the potential divestment of SKY’s non-core Galwadgere
Project.
BML are a pre-IPO exploration company exploring a portfolio of projects with
mineral resources complimentary and adjacent to the Galwadgere Project near
Wellington, NSW (figure 1).
The divestment of this non-core asset will allow SKY to continue to focus on the
resource expansion drilling and progress to mine scoping studies at the
Tallebung Project and further work at the new Narriah Project.
SKY CEO Oliver Davies commented: “The integration of the Galwadgere Project into the Burrendong
Minerals portfolio allows SKY to see value for this non-core project while continuing to develop the
Tallebung and Narriah Projects over the coming months. Galwadgere will be a terrific compliment to
BML’s portfolio of mineral resources in NSW and streamline SKY’s portfolio to focus on core assets.”
The Board of Sky Metals Limited (‘SKY’ or ‘The Company’) is pleased to detail the divestment of the noncore Galwadgere Project in NSW to pre-IPO NSW explorer Burrendong Minerals Limited (BML).
