GALENA SECURES $90M TO DEVELOP ABRA

International lead and zinc smelting company, Toho Zinc will invest $90M for a 40% ownership interest in Galena’s currently wholly-owned subsidiary AMPL, which owns Abra Base Metals Project in Western Australia. Toho and Galena each have a right to off-take their percentage share of Abra production on arms-length, benchmark terms, and then on-sell to third-parties.
Managing Director, Alex Molyneux commented, “This is a great transaction that provides the equity required to develop Abra, recognising the strategic value of the Project. Furthermore, Toho is a key player in the global lead and zinc industry and an experienced miner, so we look forward to the benefits of a true partnership in the development of Abra.”
