U.S. stock futures rise after U.S.-Japan trade deal; Tesla, Alphabet earnings due
LONDON - Kore Potash PLC, a company specializing in potash project development, has had its trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) suspended as of Thursday, following its inability to meet the ASX’s timeline for announcing details of a draft financing proposal. The company, which holds a 97% stake in the Kola and DX Potash Projects in the Republic of Congo, requested the halt in trading on the ASX on Monday to facilitate ongoing negotiations regarding the received proposal from the Summit Consortium.
The draft non-binding term sheets for the Kola Project financing were received by Kore Potash on April 28, 2025. However, the company has indicated that it cannot comply with the ASX’s requirement to announce the term sheet details at this time, due to the nature and content of the term sheet and the ongoing review and negotiation process. The ASX, under Listing Rule 17.3, has imposed a trading suspension that will remain in place until the company can make a detailed announcement.
In contrast, the JSE Limited (JSE) in South Africa has ended its trading halt of the company’s shares, advising shareholders that the finalized terms, once agreed upon and executed, could materially affect the share price. Investors on the JSE are cautioned to trade carefully until full disclosure is made regarding the outcome of the term sheets.
Trading of Kore Potash’s ordinary securities will continue as usual on AIM, operated by the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG), and on the JSE during the suspension period on the ASX. The company has until May 31, 2025, to review, negotiate, and agree upon the formal terms, unless an alternative agreement is reached.
The suspension highlights the critical phase of financial negotiations that could shape the future of Kore Potash’s projects in the potash industry. The company’s announcement is based on a press release statement, and further information will be released following the conclusion of the term sheet negotiations.
