Compass Resources NL is an Australian mining and mineral exploration company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and currently in voluntary administration since 29 January 2009.〔(Compass Resources ASX announcements 2009 ) accessed: 10 September 2009〕 The company's main assets are mineral resources at Browns, Browns East and Mount Fitch, adjacent to the former Rum Jungle uranium mine in the Northern Territory of Australia. Brown's consists of a multi-metal oxide deposit overlying a related sulphide deposit. Compass also has exploration rights over the site of the former uranium mine and some royalty rights on a gold mine in New South Wales.〔 and 〕 ==Mining in the Northern Territory== On 29 January 2009, Compass Resources went into voluntary administration, while in the process of commissioning the Brown's Oxide mine.〔 Compass (CMR) was listed on the ASX with the fourth-largest lead deposit in the world, plus numerous other deposits with the potential value in excess of $15 billion. The Company was chaired by mining magnate Gordon Toll. The company was awarded major project facilitation status by the Australian federal government and endorsed as a “Major Project of National Significance”. The company formed a joint venture with Hunan Non-Ferrous Metals Corporation (HNC). As Compass undertook capital projects to develop and extract lead and other metal ores, costs appear to have blown out. The ASX placed a trading halt on CMR on 28 Jan 2009. Gordon Toll did not show up at the 29th January 2009 shareholder EGM to advise shareholders of the devastating news that rather than a debt for equity swap at 42 cents/share as approved by shareholders that Compass Resources was in fact suddenly being placed into administration. Shares had been issued to both YA Global and Coffee House (Gordon Toll) in exchange for debts owing to them by CMR. CMR shares were suspended from trading on 29 Jan 2009. The company was later placed in administration. Mr Toll has not corresponded with shareholders or made any statements in relation to Compass Resources ever since which is in stark contrast to the way he and his board was promoting the company right up until administration. Ferrier Hodgson was appointed on January 29, 2009, as deed administrators of a deed of company arrangement DOCA. The initial DOCA proposed that shareholders would face a large dilution of their equity to less than 5% deemed share price of 2.5 cents. The Friends of Compass Resources proposed a revised DOCA to reach agreement of 10.1% - 4 cents deemed and a relisting of the company in 2011. Shareholder equity in the company which was 93 per cent prior to it going into administration was seriously eroded. http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Gordon-Toll/63125826 In 2015 Ferrier Hodgson advised shareholders that claims could be made to the ‘Compass Resources Creditors’ Trust’ (Martin Jones, Ferrier Hodgson, Perth) for losses incurred by share-holders who had purchased shares between 1 May 2008 and 29 January 2009. A short time frame in which to lodge claims was imposed. Claimants were requested to provide evidence meeting three criteria: 1. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Compass Resources」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
