CORPORATE
Capital Raisings and Loan Repayments
On 13 August 2015, Discovery Africa Limited (ASX:DAF) announced to the market that they had sold their entire shareholding in Argosy Minerals (28.6%) and therefore on this date ceased to be an associate of Argosy Minerals Ltd.
On 14 August 2015, the Company closed out the $100,000 loan owing to Discovery Africa Limited by the issue of 50,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.02. This repayment was in line with the previously agreed recapitalisation of the Company conducted in 2014 and represented the full and final settlement of any monies owed to Discovery Africa Limited.
Board Changes
On 28th October 2015, the Company accepted the resignation from Mr Frank Knezovic as the Non-Executive Chairman and the Company then appointed Ms Andrea Betti as a new Non-Executive Director. On this date Ms Betti was also appointed as Argosy's Company Secretary, to replace Mr Matic who resigned from this role. Mr Matic then simultaneously took up the role as the Company's Non-Executive Chairman.
EXPLORATION
Argosy Minerals Limited is an Australian based mineral exploration company with an option to purchase the Mt Paris Lithium Project in Tasmania, has a farm-in joint venture agreement (earning up to 80%) in the rapidly emerging Wee MacGregor Copper-Gold Project in Queensland, and also has a 100% interest in the Erongo Graphite Project in Namibia.
Mt Paris Lithium Project
The Mt Paris Lithium Project comprises one granted exploration licence covering an area of 115km², located approximately 60km northeast of Launceston with access via the sealed Tasman Highway. Argosy executed a Heads of Agreement with Geotech International Pty Ltd in February 2016, granting the Company a two-year option period to purchase the Project.
The Project targets lithium mineralisation within the extensive greisen swarms located within the exploration licence. Previous explorers, all targeting tin mineralisation, classified the hard rock deposits into quartz-greisen veins, stanniferous greisen lodes surrounded by zones of kaolinite-altered granite, and flat-lying greisen sheets, which are all associated with the undulating granite roof-zone/cupola. The greisens and associated pegmatites are prospective for lithium micas (zinnwaldite), lithium pyroxene (spodumene) and lithium clays (hectorite).
