Both based in Australia, Tawana Resources is engaged in mineral exploration and development, while Alliance Mineral Assets is a mining company.

The shareholders of Melior Resources have approved the previously announced merger agreement with Metallica Minerals.

Metallica will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Melior in exchange for ordinary shares of the company at an exchange ratio of 20 Metallica shares for one Melior share.
