Hawthorne Resources benefiting today from the earn-in of Hancock Magnetite Holdings Pty Ltd into the Mt Bevan iron ore project. HAW currently holds a 40% interest in the Mt Bevan project, although this will reduce to 28% once Hancock's initial invesment of $9 million has been paid. If Hancock elects to fund through to a completed PFS then HAW will hold 19.6%.
Still, this looks very good for HAW which will not have to spend another cent on the project potentially all the way through to a completed PFS, which will free up their cash at hand to be used for other purposes. Also, you can't get a more serious player than a Hancock entity, so this will de-risk the project considerably.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
