Mineral Commodities Ltd has provided an update on its previously announced sale of the Skaland Graphite Project. The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, MRC Graphite Norway Pty Ltd, had entered into a binding, conditional share purchase agreement with Norge Mineraler Holding AS for the sale of 100% of the shares in Skaland Graphite AS. After all conditions precedent were satisfied on 17 March 2025—with completion and payment initially scheduled for 21 March 2025—funding constraints have resulted in Norge Mineraler delaying its payments. In light of payment delays, further discussions between the two parties have led to a revised approach. Norge Mineraler has now made two non-refundable payments: GBP500,000 allocated to cover costs arising from the delay in transaction completion, and an additional GBP500,000 credited directly to Skaland to support its business and operations. In addition, Norge Mineraler will provide up to GBP410,000 for operational costs on a non-refundable basis, and will secure a new drill rig for Skaland by 5:00 pm London time on 30 July 2025. The arrangement also includes a provision whereby up to USD500,000, which was previously accounted for against the purchase price, will now be excluded on a pro rata basis between 1 August 2025 and the completion date. Both parties have confirmed that the transaction is expected to close as soon as possible, but no later than 12 noon Oslo time on 31 October 2025. For traders and market participants, the technical elements of this announcement—specifically the non-refundable payments, adjusted allocations, and detailed timeline for operational assets—underline the importance of closely monitoring cashflow and execution risks in corporate transactions. The news presents a mixed sentiment. On the bullish side, the buyer’s commitment to supporting Skaland with operational funding and investment in new drilling equipment suggests confidence in the project's underlying asset value and future prospects. Additionally, the clear timeline and revised payment structure indicate that both parties remain geared toward finalizing the deal. However, on the bearish side, the funding constraints experienced by Norge Mineraler, as well as the adjustment of previously allocated funds, may signal potential liquidity or execution challenges. This could introduce uncertainty around final transaction terms and impact short-term market sentiment among cautious investors. Mineral Commodities Ltd continues to position itself as a key player in the mining and development space with ambitions to become a vertically integrated producer of graphitic anode materials and other value-added mineral products, all while maintaining a focus on environmental and governance standards.
