Australian telecommunications company Vonex (VN8) has cashed in after receiving the first tranche of consideration following the sale of its royalty entitlements from the Koolyanobbing Iron Ore Project.

The company received $1.75 million and is also entitled to an additional $750,000 in royalties, if two more iron ore production milestones are met at the Western Australian project.

It comes after the completion of a C$13.75 million fundraising by the purchaser of the Royalty, SilverStream SEZC, for the purposes of SilverStream listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

“This is a milestone event for the Company, disposing of the last non-core asset for cash consideration of up to A$2.5 million. These proceeds put Vonex in a very good position, with the ability now to comfortably fund our organic growth of both our direct and recently expanded wholesale businesses following the completed purchase of 2SG Wholesale. We are thrilled for SilverStream and wish them the best of luck with their endeavours.”

Vonex Managing Director, Matthew Fahey.

The company’s cash position has now been strengthened, with a reported $3.5 million cash in the bank, and it’ll now continue their marketing drive in collaboration with Qantas Business Rewards.
