CORPORATE
Strategy and Business Model
Cape Lambert Resources Limited (ASX: CFE) (Cape Lambert or the Company) is an Australian domiciled mineral development company. Cape Lambert has interests in several exploration and mining companies, providing exposure to iron ore, copper, gold, uranium, cobalt, lithium and lead-silver-zinc assets in Australia, Europe, Africa and South America (refer Figure 1).
Cape Lambert's strategy is to acquire and invest in undervalued and/or distressed mineral assets and companies (Projects) and:

•retain long-term exposure to these Projects through a production royalty and/or equity interest.
Cape Lambert aims to deliver Shareholder value by adding value to these undeveloped Projects. If Projects are converted into cash, the Company intends to follow a policy of distributing surplus cash to Shareholders.

Cash Balance
As at 31 March 2019, the Company had approximately A$572k.
Trading Suspension
On 8 January 2019, the Company's securities were suspended from official quotation pending an announcement on the Project, and in particular the security of tenure over the Kipushi Cobalt-Copper Tailings Project (Project). The Company is currently liaising with ASX regarding the announcement relating to the Project to bring it out of voluntary suspension.
Loan Facility
On 12 March 2019, the Company entered into a loan of USD$500,000 (AUD$720k) from First Investments Holding Ltd secured by the Company's shareholding in European Lithium Ltd to three times the value of the loan, interest rate of 5% per annum and to be repaid 18 months from the date of advancement.
Financing Facility
On 17 December 2018, the Company announced that it has secured a A$7.5m finance facility with MEF I, L.P. (Magna or Investor) to fast-track the development of the Kipushi Cobalt-Copper tailings project in the DRC.
The A$7.5m facility allows the Company to ensure the development is funded whilst retaining the flexibility with our negotiations for either an offtake for a strategic partner which may result in alternative funding, such as a cash injection into the project.
An initial amount of A$750k was drawn down on 19 December 2018 and a further $0.75m will be available for drawdown pending the Investors ability to trade the Company's shares on the Frankfurt exchange with a further A$6m available in tranches upon the Company meeting key milestones relating to the Company's Kipushi Cobalt-Copper Tailings Project. Full terms and conditions of the convertible securities are included in the announcement released on 17 December 2018.
During the quarter, the Company repaid USD$66k (AUD$96k) of the Magna facility.
