Capella Minerals (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF) has announced the termination of its asset sale agreement with Polar Transition Minerals AS for the sale of its central Norway copper assets. The agreement, initially announced on October 17, 2023, and amended on April 9, 2024, was terminated following the elapse of the July 7, 2024 long stop date. As a result, Capella regains 100% interest in its portfolio of high-grade copper-cobalt projects in the former Løkken and Røros mining districts, Trøndelag Province.

The company plans to pursue alternative strategies for advancing these projects, with a particular focus on the drill-ready targets at Åmot and Hessjøgruva. Eric Roth, Capella's President and CEO, stated that while the transaction was worth pursuing due to shared strategic vision, both companies are better served by moving forward independently at this stage.

Capella Minerals (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF) ha annunciato la risoluzione del suo accordo di vendita di attività con Polar Transition Minerals AS per la vendita dei suoi asset di rame in Norvegia centrale. L'accordo, inizialmente annunciato il 17 ottobre 2023 e modificato il 9 aprile 2024, è stato risolto a seguito del trascorrere della data di scadenza del 7 luglio 2024. Di conseguenza, Capella riacquista il 100% di interesse nel suo portafoglio di progetti di rame-cobalto di alta qualità nei precedenti distretti minerari di Løkken e Røros, nella provincia di Trøndelag.

L'azienda prevede di perseguire strategie alternative per far progredire questi progetti, con particolare attenzione agli obiettivi pronti per la perforazione ad Åmot e Hessjøgruva. Eric Roth, Presidente e CEO di Capella, ha dichiarato che, sebbene la transazione fosse interessante a causa di una visione strategica condivisa, entrambe le aziende sono meglio servite procedendo in modo indipendente in questa fase.

Capella Minerals (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF) ha anunciado la finalización de su acuerdo de venta de activos con Polar Transition Minerals AS para la venta de sus activos de cobre en el centro de Noruega. El acuerdo, anunciado inicialmente el 17 de octubre de 2023 y modificado el 9 de abril de 2024, fue finalizado tras la expiración de la fecha límite del 7 de julio de 2024. Como resultado, Capella recupera el 100% de interés en su cartera de proyectos de cobre-cobalto de alta calidad en los antiguos distritos mineros de Løkken y Røros, en la provincia de Trøndelag.

La empresa planea seguir estrategias alternativas para avanzar en estos proyectos, con un enfoque particular en los objetivos listos para perforar en Åmot y Hessjøgruva. Eric Roth, Presidente y CEO de Capella, declaró que, aunque la transacción valía la pena perseguir debido a una visión estratégica compartida, ambas empresas están mejor servidas avanzando de manera independiente en esta etapa.

카펠라 미네랄스 (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF)는 폴라 전환 미네랄스 AS와 중앙 노르웨이의 구리 자산 판매를 위한 자산 판매 계약의 종료를 발표했습니다. 이 계약은 2023년 10월 17일에 처음 발표되었고 2024년 4월 9일에 수정되었으며, 2024년 7월 7일 연장 날짜가 경과한 후 종료되었습니다. 그 결과, 카펠라는 이전 록켄 및 뢰로스 광산 지역에서 고품질 구리-코발트 프로젝트 포트폴리오에서 100%의 이권을 회복합니다.

회사는 Åmot 및 Hessjøgruva의 드릴 준비 목표에 특히 중점을 두고 이 프로젝트를 진행하기 위한 대체 전략을 추구할 계획입니다. 카펠라의 회장 겸 CEO인 에릭 로스는 전략적 비전을 공유하고 있는 만큼 거래를 추구할 가치가 있었지만, 당사자들은 이 단계에서 독립적으로 나아가는 것이 더 좋다고 밝혔습니다.

Capella Minerals (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF) a annoncé la résiliation de son accord de vente d'actifs avec Polar Transition Minerals AS pour la vente de ses actifs de cuivre en Norvège centrale. L'accord, annoncé initialement le 17 octobre 2023 et modifié le 9 avril 2024, a été résilié après l'expiration de la date limite du 7 juillet 2024. En conséquence, Capella retrouve 100% d'intérêts dans son portefeuille de projets de cuivre-cobalt de haute qualité dans les anciens districts miniers de Løkken et Røros, dans la province de Trøndelag.

L'entreprise prévoit de poursuivre des stratégies alternatives pour faire avancer ces projets, en se concentrant particulièrement sur les cibles prêtes à être forées à Åmot et Hessjøgruva. Eric Roth, président et PDG de Capella, a déclaré que même si la transaction valait la peine d'être poursuivie en raison d'une vision stratégique partagée, les deux entreprises seraient mieux servies en avançant indépendamment à ce stade.

Das Unternehmen plant, alternative Strategien zur Förderung dieser Projekte zu verfolgen, mit besonderem Fokus auf die bohrbereiten Ziele in Åmot und Hessjøgruva.
