Notes to Editors
Strategic Minerals Plc is an AIM-quoted, diversified mineral
development and production company with projects in the United
States of America, the UK and Australia. The Company is focused on
acquiring and developing cash generative, high quality projects
which meet local market demand for commodities and utilising this
cash flow to undertake value added exploration.
In September 2011, Strategic Minerals purchased its first
cash-generating asset; the Cobre magnetite tailings dam project in
New Mexico, USA which it brought into production in 2012 and which
continues to provide a revenue stream for the Company. The
portfolio was expanded in January 2016 with the acquisition of
shares in Central Australian Rare Earths Pty Ltd, which holds
tenements in Western Australia that are prospective for cobalt,
gold, nickel sulphides and rare earth elements. The Company has
since acquired all shares in Central Australian Rare Earths Pty
Ltd. In May 2016, an additional exploration asset was acquired when
the Company entered into an agreement with New Age Exploration
Limited to acquire up to 50% of the Redmoor Tin/Tungsten project in
Cornwall, UK. This 50% acquisition was completed in February 2017
and the first drilling programme at the project has been completed.
The Company has also exchanged contracts for the acquisition of the
Leigh Creek Copper Mine, situated in the copper rich belt of South
Australia, which is subject to Conditions Precedent.
