Acquisition of Lake Way tenements
SOP recently completed the acquisition of a package of tenements as well as other key assets for the Lake Way project.
The acquisition was completed after satisfying all conditions precedent to Salt Lake’s agreement with Blackham Resources Ltd (ASX:BLK).
The transaction marks an important step in providing Salt Lake with certainty over tenure, timing and capital expenditure required to bring the Lake Way project into production.
Looking ahead, chief executive officer Tony Swiericzuk said the next 12 months would be “pivotal” for the company with a number of key works progressing including the construction of a processing plant at Lake Way and final permitting.
