Province Resources makes voluntary suspension request

Province asked the ASX to suspend its shares from quotation this morning.

The company asked for more time to finalise its joint venture terms with Total Eren for the HyEnergy green hydrogen project in Western Australia.

Province requested the suspension remains in place until the terms are finalised, or the commencement of trading on Friday this week.
