The Deed Administrators have been advised by the Receivers and Managers of the Company that the sale of the Geko Gold Project has completed in February 2020. The Deed Administrators have requested the Receivers announce the details of the sale to the ASX. The Deed Administrators have received a variation to the Recapitalisation Proposal. The Proponents of the Recapitalisation Proposal are continuing to negotiate with SMS. The Proponents are also working with the Deed Administrators to ensure the Company's ASX compliance is maintained by adhering with the periodic ASX continuous disclosure requirements until these negotiations are finalised, however, as noted in the March Announcement, absent a viable Recapitalisation Proposal, that has the consent of SMS, being approved by creditors and executed as a variation to the current holding DOCA by 27 May 2020, the Company will automatically proceed to liquidation.

At the meeting creditors resolved to adjourn the meeting for up to 15 business days. The adjourned meeting of creditors was reconvened on 26 February 2020 at which creditors resolved to vary the Holding DOCA by extending the Deadline Date to 27 May 2020 to accommodate the Recapitalisation DOCA or any other proposal. A varied deed of company arrangement to effect this variation was executed on 9 March 2020 and has been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission as required.
