MCB RESOURCES LIMITED (ASX.MCB)

company is deregistered today

David Mark Mutton appointed liquidator

delisted from the close of trading on Friday, 26 February 2021, pursuant to Listing rule 17.15.

we understand the company failed to pay its annual listing fees by close of business on Friday, 26 February 2021

Under Listing Rule 17.6, any entity (if not already suspended) that has not paid its annual listing fees by close of business on Friday, 19 February 2021 will have its securities suspended from official quotation before the commencement of trading on Monday, 22 February 2021. The company has not paid the second instalment of its annual listing fees in respect of the year ending 30 June 2021 but the securities are already suspended from official quotation.

For the past several years, the Company's financial position has been reliant on the ongoing support of Tygola Pty Ltd (Tygola), which company has continued to provide secured finance facilities. The Company has for several months been endeavouring to secure the ASX's consent to a recapitalisation strategy. The Company understands it needs to complete its recapitalisation prior to it seeking to have the ASX suspension lifted. Given the licence and exploration uncertainties referred to above, the Company is uncertain how long it might take to successfully undertake a recapitalisation. In the meanwhile, the Company is incurring the costs of being an ASX listed company without its shareholders being able to trade their securities on the ASX. Tygola has advised the Company that while it presently intends to continue to fund exploration and operating activities, it will no longer support the costs associated with the Company being listed on the ASX in circumstances where the Company's shares are suspended from trading. The Board has reached out to the Company's major shareholders to see if they would be prepared to fund the costs associated with the Company remaining listed on the ASX, but each of them has declined to do so. On the other hand, they were supportive of the Company becoming an unlisted public company. Accordingly, the Company has advised the ASX that it will not be making payment of its listing fee which fell due for payment on 31 January 2021. Under the ASX Rules, "ASX will remove the entity from the official list at the close of trading on the 20th business day after the due date. ASX will not waive this rule.", and therefore the Company accepts that it will more than likely be removed from the ASX's official list by the end of February 2021.

Short Wavelength Infrared has defined strong phyllic alteration assemblages spatially associated with previously mapped intrusive phases and broad copper mineralisation at Melilup. Chlorite temperature proximators (FeOH 2250nm wavelength position) vector in towards diorite intrusives, a conspicuous NW-SE striking fault and silicic alteration mapped by company geologists. Chlorite 2250 nm wavelength position adjacent and within Batu Hijau pit shell typically between 2243 and 2250nm (Melilup on periphery of shorter wavelength). Potassic white mica (phyllic alteration) associated with dioritic phases located within a NW-structural corridor (arc-parallel) and equally in a NE-SW direction (arc-normal) toward Fathom Target 1 indicates similar broad structural setting to Panguna Copper Mine (at the intersection of arc parallel and arc normal structures, see SEG paper by Agnew, 2018), ~100km to the south. Alunite float sample obtained on eastern limb of Eric's River indicates advanced argillic alteration characteristic of the upper portions of porphyry related systems, where high temperature low ph conditions dominate alteration fluids. Assay results for surface geochemical samples collected in Dec 2019 have been reported previously, and are consistent with the alteration profile suggested by the SWIR study.

Recent rock chip sampling results from Melilup have defined an open-ended NWtrending copper anomaly with minimum dimensions of 800m x 50m. 13% of the assays returned copper values greater than 500ppm Cu, with 3% reporting above 1000ppm Cu (including a peak value of 2135ppm Cu). "“ Spectral analysis of rock chips to define vectors toward mineralisation is in progress. Planning is underway for additional rock chip sampling, mapping, ground geophysics and soil survey work to define drill targets.
