Galaxy Termination

 

Panthera Resources plc (AIM: PAT), the gold exploration and development company with assets in West Africa and India announces that the term sheet with Galaxy Gold Mines Pvt Limited (Galaxy) has lapsed effective 30 April 2021.

 

Reflecting the recent change in the Indian mining law, the Company has elected not to extend the term sheet with Galaxy.  The Company's efforts are focused on pursuing its legal rights in India and, working with Fasken in preparation for a potential international arbitration under the Australia-India Bilateral Investment Treaty.

Galaxy retains a 5% equity interest in IGL with the remaining 95% interest held by Panthera.  IGL holds Panthera's mining and other ownership interests in India, including any rights to the Bhukia Project.
