("Bushveld" or the "Company")

Competition Commission Approval for the sale of a 64% interest in Mokopane

 

Further to the Company's announcement on 15 December 2023, Bushveld Minerals Limited (AIM: BMN), the integrated primary vanadium producer, is pleased to announce that the Competition Commission of South Africa ("CCSA") has unconditionally approved the proposed sale of Mokopane by SPR Fund I ("SPRF"), represented by its general partner SPR GP1. Mokopane is controlled by Bushveld Resources which is, in turn wholly owned by Bushveld Minerals. Mokopane is the holder of the sole and exclusive mining rights to extract minerals, including vanadium titanium. The CCSA is of the view that the proposed transaction is unlikely to substantially lessen or prevent competition in any market and the proposed transaction does not raise public interest concerns. The following conditions precedent remain outstanding:

 

· SPRF having conducted a satisfactory confirmatory legal due diligence;

· Completion of the Vanchem acquisition by SPRF; 

· Consent of the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy to the change of control of Mokopane in respect of each mining and prospecting licence.
