Who's involved? Tartana is an Australian explorer and project developer working copper, gold, silver, zinc, and tin assets in the Chillagoe region of Far North Queensland, plus a copper sulphate operation. Xingye Silver & Tin, based in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, is a large mining company whose Australian interests focus on gold, silver, tin, and copper projects.
What changed? The two agreed Xingye will not proceed with the second tranche of its investment. The shares were issued under Tartana's available capacity via ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
What's the endgame? By dropping the second tranche, Xingye forgoes several rights it would have held under the Placement Agreement.
Those include the right to appoint a board nominee or observer, to control how the company deals with its assets, to join future debt or equity funding, and to nominate a geologist to work with the company.
What's next? Tartana and Xingye intend to formally terminate the remaining obligations under the agreement, leaving Xingye as a 9.99% investor with no attached rights or obligations. Xingye has agreed not to vote its shares at Tartana's extraordinary general meeting on 17 August 2026.
