By GlobalDataIn the February announcement, Pan American said that “its current share price does not fully recognise the value of the property, and that by completing the proposed ‘spin out’, the shareholders of the company will benefit from unlocking the value of the property”.
It further noted: “Additionally, the proposed ‘spin out’ will allow the company to concentrate its efforts on its other projects – the Big Mack Lithium Project and the Horizon Lithium Project – while Legacy focuses on the advancement of the property.”
Pan American Energy is mainly involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties comprising battery metals in North America.
