Mr Lawrence Toh, ACROMETA's Executive Director, said, "The Proposed Disposal follows a strategic review of the Company's long-term strategy and will enable ACROMETA to unlock value for future growth. We have determined that the Group's resources and management efforts would be better directed towards other potential business opportunities in mineral sands trading."   

The Proposed Disposal will be made conditional upon approval by the shareholders of the Company at an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to be convened in due course. Upon the completion of the Proposed Disposal, LSI will cease to be a subsidiary of the Group.

Mineral Sands Trading

AcroMeta Minerals Pte. Ltd. ("AcroMeta Minerals"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Constance Holding Sdn. Bhd. ("Constance Holding") to facilitate further collaboration in mineral sands trading.

Constance Holding, a Malaysia-based holding company, operates primarily in the upstream sand industry. It holds exclusive rights to market, sell, and trade sand products from the concession and management rights of the sand concession. Constance Holding is currently involved in supplying sand for major land reclamation projects across major infrastructure developments in Malaysia.

This latest development represents another significant milestone in the Group's ongoing pursuit of regional opportunities, following an earlier non-binding, non-exclusive MOU with PT Swadaya Buana Makmur for the supply of high-grade silica sand from West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Group is actively engaged in negotiations with potential international buyers, with formal offtake agreements anticipated in the near future.

ACROMETA remains optimistic about the long-term prospects of AcroMeta Minerals, which are supported by strong demand and strategic local partnerships. With an enhanced cash position following the completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Group is well-positioned to continue exploring suitable new business opportunities that will create value for its shareholders.

This press release should be read in conjunction with the SGXNET announcement issued on the same date.
