The Company would like to acknowledge the concerns
communicated by some shareholders at the delay in updating
the market with respect to the work being done to determine
the economie status of the Munali ore body.
The Company is continuing to work with its technical advisers
and significant progress has been made on re-interpreting the
resource classification from the extensive geologica! and
resource modelling work that has been done over recent
months. Mining consultants Snowden Group have been
commissioned to prepare a revised resource estimate that will
comprehensively explain the results in accordance with the
JORC assessment and reporting criteria. This work is
progressing and we are aiming to have the full report
available for release later this month.
Preliminary results indicate that a significant resource
downgrade is anticipated. What this may mean for the
continued operation of Munali mine is currently the focus of
further detailed investigation.
This task has proven to be complex and has taken more time
than anticipated. We therefore thank
shareholders for their forbearance during this lengthy review
process.
As there remains ongoing uncertainty as to the Company's
financial future, the Company's securities will remain
in voluntary suspension.
The Board will make further announcements in due course.
Mr Yimin Zhang
Executive Director
For and on behalf of the Board of Directors
