Cracking Interview.5 Jun 2018 23:50
I have paraphrased / summarised it here:
.....Zamsort - The Zamsort deal has been worked on now for over 12months which is transformational, now gives ARCM majority stake (from buying Tera Metals share) and therefore control of one of the most exciting / prospective Copper / Cobalt licences in Zambia (At a time when Copper and Cobalt prices are looking very strong going forward). Drill contractor now signed up for Zamsort with drilling commencing towards the end of next week. We have been working closely with African mining consultants (AMC) who are very experienced in the Zambian copper belt area. They have aided ARCM, along with the historical data (by Anglo) on pinpointing sweet spots for ARCM to drill. AMC were responsible for finding / identifying one of the largest copper discoveries ever made in the DRC (back in 2006) so it is great to have them on board here. Im very confident we know where to go and drill.
CASA � finalising the resource work, which is 1 - 2 weeks from releasing to the market. This is key because ARCM have had expressions of interest from other parties, whether it be through JV or total asset sale that if CASA reaches a resource size in the order of 2 million ounces this would be big enough scale for them to be interested. CASA is a very high quality gold asset and 2million ounce + resources of this quality are very rare indeed.
Former Rio Tinto Boss � Don Baileys appointment on to the ARCM board. He is an exceptional individual and has been hugely successful as head of mining at Rio Tinto. More recently he developed LionOre for which he sold for many billions of dollars. What intrigued me when I met Don, he had been working with Tera metals on Zamsort for quite some time and he really saw this as a mini LionOre emerging. Delighted to have Don now on the board and in charge of developing Zamsort which is ARCMs prized asset.
This is only just the very beginning. Tremendous amount of exciting newsflow to come. Really dont think we could be in a better place.
