Commenting, Vincent Mascolo, Chief Executive Officer of IronRidge, said:
"I am delighted to report the strong support from our shareholders for the resolutions put forward at the AGM held earlier today. The Company's name change to Atlantic Lithium, which will take effect in the coming days, is a reflection of our new strategy on lithium, with the development of our Ewoyaa Project in Ghana our key focus. This coincides with the demerger of our gold assets into a new entity, Ricca Resources, to fully realise the value of our Cape Coast Lithium Portfolio within the Atlantic structure.
"Additionally, shareholders will benefit from the approved demerger of our highly prospective gold projects throughout Cote d'Ivoire and Chad into the separate entity called Ricca Resources. Shareholders and investors are reminded, if you wish to partake in the Ricca Resources gold demerger, to avoid disappointment ensure you are on the IronRidge register on Friday 19 November 2021.
"I would like to thank our loyal shareholders for their continued support, and I look forward to giving further updates on Atlantic Lithium in due course."
