Half Year Financial Report
Sydney, Mar 10, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The directors of Thomson Resources Ltd (
ASX:TMZ) submit their financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2016.
Review and results of operations
The net results of operations after income tax expense for the half year was a loss of $236,144 (2015: $874,680).
Thomson's Bygoo Tin Project received a major boost during the half year to December with the signing of a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with a North American private investor. The new partner can earn a 51% equitable interest of the Bygoo Tin Project on contributing $A3,000,000 in a series of staged payments by 30 November 2017. They then have an option to contribute additional funds to earn a further 25% interest. The option will be exercisable until 1 October 2018 at an exercise price of A$22,000,000, with an initial payment at commencement of A$4,000,000.
Thomson welcomes this investment as a strong show of support for the prospectivity of the Bygoo Tin Project. The farm-in funding removes the financial constraints on Thomson into developing this project towards production. A short drilling campaign was carried out at Bygoo in December and results are awaited. Further drilling is planned to commence in the second quarter of 2017.
