Bastion Minerals Divests Cometa Copper Project to Hot Chili Ltd

Feb 21, 2024

Bastion Minerals Limited (ASX: BMO) has finalized an Option Agreement with Hot Chili Ltd (ASX: HCH) for the divestment of the Cometa Copper Project in Chile. Hot Chili completed its due diligence and made an initial payment of US$100,000. Further payments of up to US$3.3 million are contingent upon Hot Chili's exercise of the option. The divestment allows Bastion to focus on its Canadian Lithium Project, Swedish Rare Earth Element Project, and Western Australian Lithium/REE Project.

Cometa comprises exploration and mining licenses covering approximately 56km2. Hot Chili aims to expand its Costa Fuego copper development through exploration at Cometa. The agreement stipulates payment options for Hot Chili, including cash or a combination of cash and shares. If the option isn't exercised within 30 months, it expires. This move aligns with Bastion's strategy of exploration, discovery, and acquisition focused on decarbonization.
