Tertiary Minerals (TYM) – Acquisition Opportunities

TYM1Tertiary Minerals plc, the AIM traded company building a strategic position in the fluorspar sector, is pleased to provide an update on its current business strategy.

The Company has made considerable progress in recent years developing its 100% owned fluorspar projects, progressing through the development cycle from discovery towards commercial production. A number of key issues have however resulted in delays to the development of our most advanced project, Storuman in Sweden, which are highlighted below:

  • Poor stock market conditions for junior exploration/development companies
  • Continued poor global market conditions for fluorspar
  • Recent new case law established in Sweden changing the way Mine Permits are granted (Refer to previous RNS dated 13 & 15 December 2016)

Whilst the Company remains on track with its fluorspar strategy and the development of its fluorspar assets, it recognises the benefit of finding projects capable of generating revenue and profits in a shorter timescale than is achievable with the current portfolio of projects. With this in mind the Company is currently evaluating a number of complementary projects for acquisition with near term sustained revenue and profit potential.

Further news will be announced on the progress of evaluation as and when it becomes available.

Commenting today, Managing Director, Richard Clemmey said: “We are pleased to have started the evaluation process on a number of acquisition opportunities with the potential to transform the Company into being one with sustainable revenues in the near term and which will complement our fluorspar assets currently in development.”
