In relation to any misinformed comment on Jelani, specifically by the poster ‘tbcx’ LEX issued the following update on Jelani on August 18th last year:
“Jelani Resources JV Project ("Jelani Resources"), South Africa - Bara Consulting's Conceptual Study
Further to the Company's announcement of 17 March 2025, the scope of the Jelani Resources conceptual-level study with Bara Consulting (Pty) Ltd ("Bara") has now been expanded beyond its original scope in order to provide a more detailed and robust evaluation of the project.
The enhanced scope now encompasses a more comprehensive validation of the proposed mining approach, broader assessment of the available infrastructure and capacity, a refined preliminary mine design and scheduling, as well as deeper high-level capex and opex modelling, including associated cash flow analysis.
This additional scope of work means that the study will now take longer than initially anticipated but is expected to deliver a significantly more comprehensive and value-enhancing blueprint for the project's future development. Lexington Gold continues to collaborate closely with Bara and Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ("Harmony Gold"), our JV partner, to complete the expanded work streams and ensure robust technical and economic validation.
Upon completion, the study's results will be presented to the Jelani Resources' board, including Harmony Gold, for review and strategic analysis. Following such assessment, the Jelani Resources board will determine whether to advance with a Mining Licence application. A further update(s) will be provided in due course.”
With the Gold price at nearly $4,500 who seriously believes the economics will not determine that a Mining Licence application is warranted? And this will clearly happen in the next few months,or possibly weeks.
This will carry serious value accretion for LEX. And LEX’s share of the project will more than likely be bought out by Harmony Gold.
