Aeternum Upgrades to Full Ownership of Nkamouna Cobalt-Nickel Project
AETN has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $0.015.
Summary
Aeternum is moving from a 51% option to acquiring 100% of American Renaissance Minerals, the vehicle for the Nkamouna cobalt-nickel-manganese project in Cameroon. The deal replaces the August option agreement and will be paid with up to 133.3 million pre-split shares issued in stages against project milestones: 15 million shares at closing, 30 million shares if the license is obtained within 12 months, and 88,333,333 shares after the earlier of the initial investment decision or 12 months post-license, subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap. Closing is expected in Q4 2026, subject to customary conditions. This follows the company's pivot to critical minerals and its recent reverse split and management changes. Full ownership simplifies the project ahead of a possible new mining permit, but the permit is not yet awarded and the company has a going concern warning.
