Under the terms of the agreement, Triton will make a $1.5m payment to Sheffield.
Triton managing director Peter Canterbury said:“Acquiring full ownership of the projects comes at an exciting point in the development of the Ancuabe project and will greatly assist in our efforts to secure approvals in Mozambique, as well as off-take and financing negotiations to support an investment decision in Q2 2018.
“Further, this transaction is value accretive for the company and the simplified ownership structure will assist any discussions in relation to potential joint ventures for the Nicanda Hill project, one of the world’s largest graphite projects and a globally significant vanadium deposit.”
The Ancuabe graphite project is situated 60km west of Pemba, in northern Mozambique.
