Half Yearly Report and Accounts
Sydney, Mar 11, 2020 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The principal activity of Cobre Limited during the financial half-year was the exploration and evaluation of the assets owned by Toucan Gold Pty Ltd (Toucan), in which Cobre owns an 80% shareholding, primarily at the Perrinvale Project, which covers 381km2 of the Panhandle and Illaara Greenstone Belts in Western Australia.
During the half year period, the company also entered into the Sandiman Farmin Agreement on 13 November 2019 pursuant to which the company acquired an option to earn interests in an additional tenement, being the Mt Sandiman Tenement.

The company's main focus during the period was working towards its planned Initial Public Offering (IPO) and subsequent listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), lodging its prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on 6 December 2019 and the commencement of trading of the company's shares on the ASX post the end of the period on 31 January 2020. As part of the IPO and to facilitate a listing on the ASX, Cobre's shareholders approved the conversion of the Company's status from a private company limited by shares (Pty Ltd) to a public company limited by shares (Ltd) which came into effect on 22 November 2019.
