Liontown Resources (ASX:LTR) slipped -7% after reporting that it was involved in a royalty legal dispute over its Kathleen Valley Lithium Project.
LTR said it has received notice that the private royalty holder, Drem Pty Ltd, has filed legal proceedings seeking declarations regarding the interpretation of the relevant documents and the amount of the royalty payable from the project.
Liontown is party to a royalty deed in relation to an inherited private royalty, which applies to certain tenements now forming part of the Kathleen Valley lithium project.
In short, the dispute between the parties is whether the amount of the royalty is calculated as 2%, or a lesser percentage, of gross sales of production from the relevant tenements.
Liontown said it will respond to the proceedings in due course, but does not believe that Drem’s claim is material to the company, nor does it impact planned first production in mid 2024.
Eagers Automotive (ASX:APE) also fell -7% after saying that it has applied for, and obtained relief from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) regarding requirements for its non-wholly owned subsidiaries to have their individual financial reports audited each year.
The relief applies only to the individual subsidiaries, and does not affect the financial reporting or audit obligations of the parent company, Eagers Automotive Limited.
