Archer Sells West Roxby Area Tenements
Perth, April 30, 2012 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Archer Exploration Limited (
ASX:AXE) through its wholly owned subsidiary Kensington Exploration Pty Ltd, has signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement with BHP Billiton relating to the sale of five (5) exploration tenements.
The Sale and Purchase Agreement supersedes a previous Heads of Agreement first announced on 28th December 2011 which contemplated a joint venture between the two companies.
The sale of the tenements will allow Archer to intensify its exploration focus on its emerging graphite deposits at Campoona and Sugarloaf and to commence systematic assessment of several additional graphite prospects around Cleve on Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
Whilst remaining focused on the development of its graphite assets the additional funds will also provide Archer with the opportunity to advance some of its other projects covering copper, manganese and gold.
