Update on Funding Discussions

 

Ironveld PLC, the owner of a High Purity Iron, Vanadium, and Titanium project located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in Limpopo Province, South Africa, provides an update regarding discussions with the South Africa-based external funding partner on a direct institutional funding transaction, originally expected to close in H1 2024.

 

The Company has received a communication which suggests that the finance package potentially available may be substantially reduced from that original envisaged and that the formal offer of funding remains subject to further due diligence. In addition, following the recent South African elections, it is anticipated all strategic investments will await new policy decisions from decision makers yet to be appointed. Accordingly, the timeframe for securing the funding could be extended by up to four months.

 

In light of these developments, the Company and its management are evaluating the impacts and are assessing options to address the situation.
