Strategic Minerals PLC has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Leigh Creek Copper Mine in South Australia to Cuprum Metals. The deal includes an upfront cash payment of A$750,000, with A$500,000 held in escrow pending regulatory approval, and up to A$3 million in shares of a new Cuprum entity. Additionally, Strategic Minerals will receive a 2% net smelter royalty on initial copper production and earn-out payments linked to operating cash flows. The sale proceeds will support Strategic Minerals' Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project, while the structure provides ongoing exposure to copper prices through royalties and shares without diluting the company.
