The company has received $3.46 million in proceeds from the first instalment of its $7 million sale of the Evanston Iron Ore Royalty.
The only remaining condition is for the buyer Trident Resources to list on AIM, which is expected next week.
Shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the sale during an extraordinary general meeting on Friday.
The proposed sale to a Trident Resources subsidiary will be put to a vote of shareholders at a general meeting next month.
The encouraging results follow FEL’s sale last week of a non-core iron ore royalty for $7 million cash.
The company is monetising the non-core asset to provide certainty of funding for exploration activities.
The anomalous copper, cobalt, zinc and gold results support the company’s mineralised gossan model at the project.
Increased payments are flowing from the royalty at Deception mine and coincide with Mineral Resources ramping up production.
The company is selling its 20% interest in the Peak Hill Joint Venture to Westgold Resources subsidiary Aragon Resources Pty Ltd.
Results from the drilling of 36 holes for 1,798 metres at the Pilbara earn-in project are expected in early January.
Drilling will test potential supergene and hypogene mineralisation above and below the water table along the majority of the gossan line.
The company is fully funded for upcoming drilling at Hillside earn-in project where very high-grade copper and manganese results were returned in sampling.
High-grade copper, gold, silver and base metals results have been received from outcrop sampling of Hillside Gossan over a 14-kilometre strike.
Sandfire Resources’ expenditure on the Bryah Basin Project now exceeds $6 million and a joint venture between Alchemy and Sandfire has been formed.
Samples were taken during a reconnaissance trip to the property, which is directly along strike from the previously mined Atlas Abydos project.
The company recently encountered strongly anomalous gold and high levels of base metals during reconnaissance work at its Hillside project in WA.
Targets have been identified and drilling will begin as soon as possible.
The company’s focus is on the gold, copper and base metals potential of the Hillside Project.
The decision follows successful due diligence on the package with stage I exploration to begin.
The company is acquiring two highly prospective lithium projects in the Pilbara region.
