Commenting on the acquisitions and divestments, Managing Director Mr Jon Price said: “Horizon’s intimate knowledge and experience in the WA goldfields region has enabled a number of value accretive acquisitions to be completed in line with our regional consolidation strategy.
“The Company is also pragmatic and open to divestment of non-core assets that have another natural owner and the deal with Warriedar/TNT Metals enables them to progress with development plans at Eureka with Horizon shareholders retaining upside through our TNT shareholding.”
“The Horizon team has done an excellent job building the asset portfolio with these latest deals essentially cash positive and we will continue to work with our neighbours for mutual gain.”
Since 2016, the Company has added over 600km2 of tenure to the asset portfolio on major geological structures, all located within 75km of the proposed Boorara mill site being evaluated as part of the consolidated Feasibility Study. The aim is to build a strong pipeline of development assets underpinning a long-term sustainable production profile and adding to that pipeline organically through large scale resource growth and new discovery exploration programs.
