Highlights
-- Prospectus submitted to the FCA relating to the application for re-admission of the Company's ordinary shares to the Official List by way of a Reverse Take Over and to trading on the Standard Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (the 'RTO');
-- Name change to Caracal Gold plc ('Caracal') to become effective on successful completion of the Transaction and RTO;
-- Contemporaneous dual listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and appointment of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Wertpapieranalyse GmbH ('DGWA'), a mining and resource focused European investment banking boutique, as European Lead Manager during the RTO process;
-- Appointment of London-based Novum Securities as broker, bookrunner and placing agent to the Company in regards to the RTO and Transaction with immediate effect;
-- Significant progress regarding approvals and due diligence for completion of the Transaction with Mayflower and between Mayflower and Goldplat plc;
-- Approval processes for the acquisition of the Kilimapesa Gold Mine are also progressing well in Kenya, and;
-- Strategy continues to advance as the Company seeks to become an established and profitable gold production company with multiple gold mining operations located in East Africa producing in excess of 50,000oz per annum and with JORC Compliant reserves and resources of +2Moz.
Papillon's executive director Charles Tatnall comments: "As a team we are very pleased with the progress being made on the Transaction as well as the developments in the RTO process. The combined management teams of Papillon and Mayflower have worked extremely hard during the difficult conditions presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to assemble the documentation and submit a prospectus to the FCA and we expect that this process will be concluded in a timely manner in order for us to move forward with the RTO. We are excited to commence our journey as a London listed gold producing company, with a clear strategy to optimise operations and expand mineable resources at the operating Kilimapesa Gold Mine. I am pleased to report that the Mayflower team has achieved several gold pours at Kilimapesa in late 2020 and already in 2021, and we have an exceptional opportunity to materially enhance the Mine's production profile in the near term.
"Furthermore, we are delighted to be working with Novum Securities and DGWA to attract UK, European and German speaking investors to bring the future Caracal Gold investment opportunity to the UK and European capital markets. I was pleased to discover that Germany's gold demand per person is one the highest worldwide according to the World Gold Council and this has reinforced our decision to contemporaneously dual list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, to diversify our investor base and affirm our position as an emerging African gold producer with tangible output and expandable production capacity.
"The name Caracal Gold will be adopted upon completion of the RTO process and we feel fully reflects the Africa centric, gold focused approach we will be adopting as a company moving forward. I very much look forward to updating the market with updates regarding the Transaction and our upcoming RTO."
