According to the company (Karoo Projects) a divestment of 74% interest in the Karoo Projects through an active process over the remainder of the 2017 calendar year is on the cards.
Peninsula says may opt to retain some level of exposure to the Karoo Projects, at a significantly reduced level.
Karoo Projects has advanced from exploration to early stage prefeasibility over the past decade.
Peninsula says has decided to focus its future capital expenditures on operating Lance Projects in Wyoming, USA, to best take full advantage of its long term sales contracts, which are well above current and forecast spot prices and extend out to 2030.
In addition, Peninsula recognises the importance of continuing to support its South African partners and stakeholders in the pursuit of the regulatory permitting processes for the Karoo Projects during the divestment process.
