Chesser Resources Ltd (ASX:CHZ) has completed the sale of the Kestanelik project in north-west
Turkey, receiving proceeds of $US40 million overnight.
After transaction costs and currency translation, net proceeds in Australian dollars total approximately A$42.051 million.
Having successfully finalised the sale, Chesser Directors will seek shareholder approval for a capital return of A$0.15 per share, with shareholders to vote on the proposal at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in Brisbane on November 20.
If the capital return is approved, Chesser will retain approximately A$8.91 million in cash, to be used for working capital and to continue development of the company's two remaining gold projects in Turkey, at Sisorta and Catak.
Meanwhile, the company is actively reviewing opportunities to add growth projects to its portfolio, with a focus on precious metals exploration and development in favourable jurisdictions where Directors and senior management can apply their skills and experience to create value for shareholders.
Chesser Managing Director Rick Valenta said the Company was at an exciting point in its development.
"We have been able to generate excellent returns for shareholders through the cash sale of the Kestanelik project at a healthy premium to the prevailing share market valuation of the company, and Directors believe it is appropriate to reward shareholders with the planned capital return.
"We are also able to differentiate ourselves from many junior resources companies in the market today, because we are now in the enviable position of having sufficient cash reserves to take advantage of opportunities in the market. While we are excited at the prospects emerging, we are determined to apply a rigorous and disciplined approach in our evaluation of any potential expansions," he said.
