ASX Announcement 22 December 2017 Westgold Strikes Lithium Option Deal with Triton Minerals Westgold Resources Limited (ASX:WGX) (Westgold) is pleased to advise that it has entered into an option agreement with Triton Minerals Limited (ASX:TON) (Triton) to divest Westgold’s package of lithium assets and royalties in Western Australia (Lithium Interests) (Option Agreement). The consideration for the divestment will be 357 million fully paid ordinary shares in Triton (Consideration Shares). Following completion, Westgold expects to distribute a majority of the Consideration Shares on a pro-rata basis to its shareholders. Completion under the Option Agreement is conditional on Triton completing due diligence and obtaining shareholder approval, and Westgold receiving taxation advice to its satisfaction. Westgold Managing Director Peter Cook said: “Westgold is a gold focussed company. This deal crystallises the value of Westgold’s lithium interests for our shareholders providing a substantial bonus for what is an effectively an unrecognised and noncore package of assets inside our gold portfolio. Triton has advanced graphite assets and packaging the lithium and graphite together creates a diversified, multi-commodity resources company. We have patiently watched the emerging battery metal space and believe that diversification across the constituents for the battery industry is our best option. On completion of the overall deal, Westgold shareholders will collectively hold approximately 30% of Triton’s share capital and will have the right to nominate an appointee to the board with the skill set to help steer the company through construction and into production. We have searched the world for a graphite asset that has outstanding potential and would be a good fit with our lithium assets. We are pleased to have been able to reach agreement with Triton and believe this offers our shareholders an excellent opportunity to unlock the value of our lithium interests and gain exposure to expanding graphite markets.” The Lithium Interests include: 1. A royalty of $2 per tonne of ore mined and 1.5% of sales revenue from lithium (and associated minerals) from a portion of Location 53, part of the northern orebody of the Mt Marion Lithium Project owned by Mineral Resources Limited, Gangfeng Lithium and Neometals Limited.
