Great Divide Mining Pursues Adelong Gold Over Unpaid Challenger Tax Indemnity

Great Divide Mining Ltd ( (AU:GDM) ) has provided an update.

Great Divide Mining Ltd has disclosed that its subsidiary Challenger Mines Pty Ltd faces an unpaid Australian Tax Office liability of $1,168,715 arising from historical Business Activity Statement discrepancies prior to GDM acquiring an interest in the asset. The company is seeking to enforce indemnities provided by Adelong Gold Limited, with Challenger Mines issuing a second demand for $1,275,911 including accrued interest, and GDM reserving its rights if payment is not made, underscoring ongoing counterparty and tax risk management around its Challenger project acquisition.

The dispute centres on tax positions and GST refunds claimed before GDM became manager of the Challenger joint venture, highlighting the importance of seller indemnities in resource-sector transactions. While the outcome remains uncertain, recovery of the full indemnified amount would mitigate the financial impact on GDM’s balance sheet and could influence perceptions of its transaction due diligence and legal protections among investors and other stakeholders.
