Tulla Resources' key asset is a 50% interest in the Central Norseman Gold Project, a historical gold mine located near the town of Norseman in the Goldfields of Western Australia that has produced over 5.5Moz of gold since operations began in 1935. The other 50% interest in the Project is held by ASX listed company Pantoro Limited which acquired that interest from Tulla Resources via a farm‑in and joint venture agreement. An unincorporated joint venture between Tulla Resources and Pantoro will be formed once Pantoro has sole funded the first $50 million of capital expenditure in relation to the Project, or on 9 July 2023 (if Pantoro has not satisfied its sole funding obligations by then).

As at the end of 2020, Pantoro had spent approximately $33 million and the Directors expect Pantoro will have satisfied its sole funding obligations by 31 March 2021.

The Central Norseman Gold Project is located approximately 200 kilometres south of Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields of Western Australia. It was established on a large scale by Western Mining Corporation (WMC) in 1935 and has been operated by various owners until 2016, when the Project was placed into care and maintenance. The current Mineral Resource is 35.0Mt @ 3.8 g/t for 4.24Moz (100% basis) with the majority of the Mineral Resource on granted mining leases.

The approximately 750 square kilometre Project tenement package is near‑contiguous over approximately 70 kilometres of strike, covering the highly prospective greenstone belt. The Project has significant exploration upside potential, highlighted by recent drilling programs using modern exploration techniques, which have yielded meaningful results (e.g. recent Panda and Green Lantern discoveries have validated exploration upside).

It is anticipated that TUL will list on the ASX during March 2021.

There we are. All UK holders are unable to trade shares bought on London's AIM market before suspension in 2012. Their shares aren't worth much now as 120,000 old NGX shares are now only worth 200 Tulla. Some London Institutions bought in at the IPO of Tulla though only Aussie and NZ citizens were otherwise invited to apply - would not have helped on the enthusiasm side of things as originally nearly all shareholders were from that side of the world.
 
You still following TUL @noirua ? (If I have any of the below incorrect, please let me know)

I've always held PNR Shares since the BNR days and never really given too much consideration to owning Tulla

After today's Announcement re the further upgrade at "Scotia" i suspect I should be backing both these "horses" each way:bookworm:

TUL Market Cap around $88 million

They have + $50 million in cash to fund their share of Norseman into Production

And they own 7% of Pantoro = close to $20 million

Pantoro of course have Halls Creek to produce cash in the short term but their Market Cap is over $300 million

Construction of the Plant is happening with first Production set down for the middle of next year

I wouldn't call it a disparity, but TUL looks under valued at the above numbers, plus the Top 20 S/H's own over 90%

Food for thought methunks :bored:

Hi barney, Your information is quite correct but there are other factors listed below.

There are some hidden factors concerning TULLA Resources and its long Norseman history. All foreign holders of Norseman Gold PLC were issued shares in Tulla Resources PLC which are 'Issuer Sponsored' so cant be sold in that form. It is is costly to move the shares to a trading account for a foreign holder, about A$180.00. So most are just sitting there and expecting Tulla to make an offer for those holdings worth less than A$500.00 or gain an AIM market quote.

Many shareholders suddenly became disillusioned and saw themselves as double-crossed by Tulla on the the massive dilution.

The company has no income and stated in the Half Yearly Report in December 2020 of the need to raise further funding.

The drilling results are not as good as fronted by Pantora Gold. Some individual results look very good but when it comes to an overall underground JORC resource it will be another matter. My own view is that it is still far too early to call.

Total Liabilities stand are A$93,684,280 as at 31 December 2021. Something the market must know about.

There is a 'New Facility Loan' of A$59,009,968 plus A$6,480,287 owed to Tulla Group as of 31 December 2020.
 
Thanks for the info @noirua

Below is a section from the December HY Report. They state that after the deal with Pantoro and the Co. reinstatement, they will be debt free?? Thoughts?



1.3 Going concern The Group made an operating loss of AUD$3.3 million and a net loss of AUD$6.2 million for the period, which follows an operating profit of AUD$43.6 million and net profit of AUD$37.1 million for the equivalent half-year period. The Group had cash of AUD$0.27 million and net liabilities of AUD$83.2 million at 31 December 2020.

The Company has completed settlement of the Offer as contemplated in the Prospectus dated 24 February 2021 and the Supplementary Prospectus dated 4 March 2021, with $78.3 million deposited into the Company’s bank account and CDIs issued to the new investors.

Having regard to the remaining Sole Funding Expenditure to be paid by Pantoro Ltd as contemplated in the FJVA, and the available cash of the Company upon completion of the Offer, the Board has concluded that it has a reasonable expectation that the Group can continue to meet its financial commitments, with respect to funding its 50% interest in the Norseman Gold Project and its overheads, for the next 12 months.

The Board also acknowledges the Group will be debt free on completion of the Offer and owns 100 million shares in its ASX listed joint venture partner, Pantoro Ltd, which collectively provide the Group flexibility with respect to future funding options. For these reasons the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this unaudited interim financial information.
