Carpentaria in trading suspension pending transaction announcement
Carpentaria Exploration (ASX: CAP) has requested suspension of trading in its securities pending an announcement advising the outcome of negotiations regarding a potential change of control transaction.
The suspension is requested due to the proposal being still incomplete and due to there being a number of conditions that are required to be satisfied before the terms of any potential transaction can be finalised, which conditions are expected to take at least three days to be resolved.
Carpentaria expects that the suspension will be lifted following an announcement by the company.
CAP has been in the news lately with its Hawson iron joint project, near Broken Hill in New South Wales which is highly prospective for bulk magnetite iron. CAP closed a deal with privately owned Bonython Metals Group Pty Ltd to farm-in to the venture with staged payments
The project has an exploration target of 2.2 to 4.8 billion tonnes at 18% magnetite DTR with a concentrate grade of 69 -71% Fe with a low level of impurities, to a depth of 250 m over an estimated strike length of the prospective host unit of 34 to 51 km. This deposit is widely considered to be one of the largest magnetite exploration targets in Australia.
CAP also released promising results from the first hole drilled at the Hughenden Coal (CAP 20%) project.
