("Polo Resources" or the "Company")
Approach Received
Polo Resources Ltd (AIM: PRL) announces that it has received an unsolicited,
non-binding, indicative and highly conditional approach from Denham Commodity
Partners Fund V LP, which may or may not lead to a cash offer being made for the
Company.
The Board of Polo Resources considers the indicative approach to significantly
undervalue the Company's assets.
The Company continues to evaluate potential strategic partnerships for its
Mongolian mineral interests to expedite the funding and development of these
assets.
The Board of Polo Resources is also currently reviewing options to ensure that
should a formal offer be made for the Company, the equity rights of Polo's
shareholders are appropriately protected.
Further announcements will be made in due course, as appropriate.
Neil Herbert, Deputy Chairman of Polo Resources, said:
"We are pleased with the interest shown in Polo's assets and believe it
illustrates the potential resource and significant value available to the
Company, as well as the strategic importance of our Mongolian licenses. However,
this approach does not appropriately reflect the value of our assets,
particularly considering our strong working capital position of approximately
US$78 million and equity stakes in Caledon Resources plc (26.3%) and GCM
Resources plc (29.8%). Caledon has announced that it is having discussions which
may lead to an offer for the Company and GCM is working with the newly elected
government of Bangladesh to move the Phulbari Coal Project forward, both of
which would greatly enhance their value.
Polo continues to make progress in achieving its aim to become a major
international coal mining and exploration group and is confident that
negotiations underway for the development of its assets can deliver substantial
value to shareholders."
Number of Relevant Securities in Issue:
The Company's issued share capital consists of 1,874,239,816 ordinary shares of
no par value ('Ordinary Shares'), each share having equal voting rights. The
Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury and therefore the total
number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights is 1,874,239,816.
The ISIN number of the Ordinary Shares is VGG6844A1075.
