Panoramic Resources Limited provided the following update on the Savannah Nickel Project. Whilst operations have continued, including a shipment of approximately 10,000 tonnes of nickel concentrate on 3 January 2024, nickel prices have continued to trend lower. After further engagement with major creditors, key suppliers and other stakeholders, the Administrators have determined that operations at the Savannah Nickel Project will be suspended over the coming days.

As a consequence of the decision to suspend operations at the Savannah Nickel Project, the majority of the c.140 Panoramic staff on-site at the Savannah Nickel Project will be stood down and unfortunately made redundant, some with immediate effect. Employees with unpaid accrued entitlements are creditors in a voluntary administration of a company with certain statutory priority entitlements ranking above the claims of unsecured creditors. Employees may also be entitled to make a claim against the Commonwealth Fair Entitlements Guarantee (FEG) scheme in the event of a shortfall in distributable funds available to meet certain of their entitlements, depending on the outcome of the administration process.

An update in this regard will be provided by the Administrators in due course. The Administrators will continue to collaborate closely with creditors and other stakeholders of the companies to which they are appointed to maximise the financial outcomes for all stakeholders.
