About KGL Resources (ASX:KGL)
KGL Resources Limited is an ASX-listed copper developer based in Milton, Queensland. Its principal asset is the 100%-owned Jervois copper project in the Northern Territory, which it is advancing toward construction and production with associated silver and gold by-products.
KGL Resources (ASX:KGL) received the second US$16 million instalment of the Early Deposit under its Precious Metals Purchase Agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd, completing the US$32 million Early Deposit available before construction starts at the Jervois Copper Project in the Northern Territory.
The second payment followed satisfaction of Early Deposit conditions, including Wheaton's FIRB approval and evidence of Early Works expenditure. Subject to further conditions, another US$243 million remains available in four equal tranches over the construction period, and a US$25 million contingent cost-overrun facility takes total potential Wheaton funding to US$300 million. The arrangement covers a portion of Jervois gold and silver by-products, with copper production remaining unencumbered. After KGL's A$300 million equity raising, the company says Jervois is fully funded through construction and into production with no project debt. Focus remains on progressing the Final Investment Decision. The release does not state when FID will be taken or when construction formally begins.
