Vast extends completion date for Mercuria agreement

Aim-listed copper and zinc miner Vast Resources said on Friday that, while it continued to make good progress with Mercuria Energy Group to finalise a $9.5-million prepayment offtake agreement for the construction of the metallurgical complex near the Manaila mine, and in restarting the mining activity in Bihor at the mine in Baita Plai, in Romania, the miner had extended completion by two weeks. Mercuria requested a further extension to complete the necessary documentation phase of the transaction.
