Under the Divestment, Corazon retains the Miriam Project’s base and precious metals rights (held by wholly owned subsidiary Coolgardie Mineral Rights Pty Ltd (Coolgardie Mineral Rights), and the lithium and industrial minerals rights held by Coolgardie Nickel will be owned by both Eastern Coolgardie (85%) and Corazon (15%).
