About Us
MGT Resources listed on the National Stock Exchange in December 2008 after a successful initial public offering under its former name of Mono Resources Limited. Its founding directors had a vision to capitalize on exploration and mining resource investment opportunities during the peak of the Global Financial Crisis.
By assembling a team of directors with exceptional backgrounds in their respective fields, the company rapidly attracted investment from both Australia and abroad, notably from Hong Kong and China. This was a significant achievement as the company had not yet acquired any projects specifically but was funded on the merits of its directors, their collective experience and the vision they had in place. Whilst many companies were significantly risk adverse during that time, MGT Resources was preparing to actively seek and acquire highly prospective minerals exploration projects. MGT Resources proceeded to take full advantage of a market with highly undervalued assets and did so by acquiring a controlling interest in a tin exploration project in Far North Queensland. This occurred within less than six months from listing.
The company MGT acquired a major stake in is known as Xtreme Resources Limited (now MGT Mining Limited). See Projects for a full description.
With the uncertainty of the financial climate at that time, MGT Resources saw value in and agreed to invest $1.86M in Xtreme to acquire just under 74% of the issued capital in the company. This was deemed by independent experts as a particularly modest investment given the potential of the company and its suite of assets, most significantly the fact that it included a processing plant (the Mount Veteran Mill). The project previously had several millions of dollars invested in it by Xtreme.
As a result of the proposed transaction MGT Resources Limited became the largest shareholder in Xtreme holding 73.76% and has since increased its stake to 81.33% by way of share acquisitions.
It is with great pleasure that we present to you MGT Resources and its strong capabilities as both an exploration and production company.
Our goal is for MGT to be a company generating significant revenues from its tin mining operations, together with exploration to enhance tin resources and also for other metals, particularly gold.
