Celsius Resources ( (AU:CLA) ) has issued an update.

Celsius Resources has provided an update on its alternative conflict processes involving Makilala Mining Company, Inc., after the expiry of payment deadlines tied to Sodor Inc.’s planned acquisition of a 60% stake in MMCI and a related major subscription in PDEP Inc. The company explored replacement counterparties and clarified that an initially considered option, Socialej Inc., in which its interim chair and a former director held interests, was ultimately rejected by both boards due to governance and related-party concerns.

Despite that decision, executive director Neil Grimes issued an unauthorized notice instructing Sodor to transfer its MMCI shares to Socialej, leading Celsius to state it does not seek such a transfer and instead aims to move the shares to an independent Philippine party. The board has launched an investigation, sought independent legal advice, terminated Grimes’ executive consulting agreement with immediate effect, and apologized to Sodor and Socialej, signaling a bid to tighten governance and reassure stakeholders while conflict resolution efforts continue.
