An update from Celsius Resources ( (AU:CLA) ) is now available.

Celsius Resources has provided an update on its conflict processes involving Makilala Mining Company, Inc. after the expiry of a key payment deadline linked to Sodor, Inc.’s planned 60% acquisition in MMCI and a related US$38 million subscription by PMR Holding Corp. in PDEP Inc. The company reiterated that it is seeking to transfer Sodor’s MMCI stake to an independent Philippine party, rather than to Socialej Inc., a potential replacement linked to former and current Celsius directors.

The board disclosed that Executive Director Neil Grimes, without authority, issued Sodor a notice on 16 February directing transfer of its MMCI shares to Socialej, despite both boards having declined to pursue that related-party transaction. Celsius has terminated Grimes’ executive consulting agreement, commenced an investigation with independent legal advice into the unauthorised notice and its consequences, and apologised to Sodor and Socialej for any confusion arising from his actions.
