Sovereign Metals welcomes Rio Tinto as strategic investor

Sovereign Metals Limited (ASX:SVM, OTC:SVMLF, AIM:SVML) managing director Julian Stephens tells Proactive that Rio Tinto is making an investment of A$40.4 million in Sovereign resulting in an initial 15% shareholding. The investment proceeds will be used to advance the Kasiya Rutile-Graphite Project in Malawi. He says the landmark deal with Rio is confirmation of Kasiya’s place as one of the most significant critical mineral discoveries in recent times.
