Federal Court Justice Craig Colvin slammed Australian Mines’ conduct as ‘serious’ but agreed to a modest penalty because the company had sought to make amends.

ASIC accused Australian Mines of misleading the ASX in a February 2018 announcement about a deal for the cobalt and nickel product it expected to make at its Sconi Project mine near Townsville, which was one of its biggest assets.

ASIC also alleged the company’s former managing director, Benjamin Bell, lied to investors at overseas investment conferences following the announcement by saying SK Innovation had agreed to fund the construction of a plant for the project, which was expected to cost at least $500 million, despite never being offered such financing.

Justice Colvin said that “nothing in [his judgment] should be treated as a finding against Mr Bell of any contravention”, as his case is ongoing.

There is a toxic & endemic culture of secrecy within Australia’s political and legal systems, a culture which the Labor Federal Government is tolerating and making even worse. 🧐… Well that can’t be correct reporting ….they’re all been so honest and above board the last 3 years..oh! Wait 🫤
