Cannon Resources makes ASX debut
Thomson Geer has advised Cannon Resources on its successful IPO and ASX debut.
Emma Musgrave
Firm: Thomson Geer (Cannon Resources).
Value: $6 million.
Area: Corporate.
Key players: The Thomson Geer team included partners Scott Gibson and Hedley Roost and lawyer Ryan Gava.
Deal significance: Cannon Resources is an Australian mineral exploration company.
This deal saw Thomson Geer advise the group on its demerger from Rox Resources Limited (Rox), its successful $6 million IPO and debut onto the ASX.
“Cannon was established to implement a demerger undertaken by newly refocused gold exploration and development company, Rox, for the purpose of maximising the value of and accelerating work on the Fisher East Nickel and the Collurabbie Nickel Projects,” a statement from Thomson Geer said.
“The demerger unlocks the value of Rox’s Fisher East and Collurabbie Nickel Projects for shareholders, allowing Rox to focus on its gold assets. Rox shareholders will retain exposure to the Fisher East and Collurabbie Nickel Projects through their in-specie shares in Cannon and any shares they subscribed for as part of Cannon’s IPO.
“The Cannon IPO will generate future opportunities for the growth and development of the Fisher East and Collurabbie Nickel Projects, and will play a crucial role in Cannon achieving its objectives by providing the company with valuable capital to fund the future exploration of its tenements and working capital requirements.”
Commenting further, partner Scott Gibson said: “It has been a pleasure assisting the teams at Rox and Cannon as we successfully navigated the demerger, IPO, and Cannon’s debut onto the ASX. We wish them every success with their future exploration projects.”
