Obonga Project Awkward East Claim Purchase Agreement

Panther Metals PLC (LSE:PALM) the company focused on mineral exploration in Canada, is pleased to announce the signing of a purchase option agreement over 35 single cell mining claims (the "Claims") covering a total area of 7.25km2 to enlarge the Awkward Prospect area eastwards. The additional claims increase the Obonga Project area to 292.25km2 of prospective greenstone belt coverage,160km north of Thunder Bay in the Province of Ontario, Canada.

Darren Hazelwood, Panther Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The Awkward location on Obonga has already generated industry interest and strengthening our position makes strategic sense as we look to accelerate our growth in 2024. This claim purchase agreement extends the coverage of ground prospective for critical minerals eastwards from the Obonga Project's Awkward Prospect."

Transaction Details

The purchase option agreement ("Purchase Option") for the 35 Claims (as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1) allows Panther the option to purchase the Claims from the vendors for a total cash consideration of CAN$100,000 and the award of a 2.0% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty (which has provision for Panther to reduce the royalty to 1.0% NSR royalty through a CAD$1,000,000 buy-back).

In addition, in order to complete the purchase Panther will need to have conducted exploratory drilling activities in the area covered by the Claims with a minimum aggregate expenditure of CAD$300,000 over the three year option period, such that spending on such activities is not less than (i) CAD$50,000 prior to the first anniversary of the grant of the Purchase Option; (ii) not less than CAD$100,000 between the first and second anniversaries of the grant of the Purchase Option; and (iii) not less than CAD$150,000 between the second and third anniversaries of the grant of the Purchase Option provided that any expenditure in years 1 and 2 in excess of CAD$150,000 may be carried over and offset against the minimum spend commitment in year 3.

The Purchase Option price, payable on the signing of the agreement is CAD$15,000 with a further payment of CAD$15,000 due on first anniversary of the date of signing.
