Prospect reviews non-binding proposals
Investors are sending Prospect shares higher as they digest the company's latest announcement.
According to its release, Prospect advised it has received seven non-binding proposals for the development of the Arcadia Lithium Project.
Located in Zimbabwe, the Arcadia project is Prospect's flagship asset, in which it holds an 87% interest. Since acquiring the project in mid-2016, Prospect has progressed Arcadia from discovery to the most advanced lithium project in Africa.
The company noted that it has engaged with a number of interested parties in the past week following data room access and site visits.
The non-binding proposals have come from several international parties offering various support structures. This includes development joint ventures, offtake prepayment debt funding, and the acquisition of Prospect's interest in the Arcadia Lithium Project.
While there is no guarantee that any of the proposals will materialise, Prospect is in discussions with its financial advisors to determine the best option.
