Gold is flying:
KAT RNS:
· The current, JORC code compliant, mineral resource for Imweru and Imwelo consists of 11.6 Mt at a grade of 1.38 g/t for 515,110 oz Au and 4.7 Mt at 1.92 g/t for 291,600 oz Au respectively and probable reserve for Imwelo consists of 1.4 Mt at 2.2 g/t for 97,394 oz Au.
· LVG is an unlisted public company, incorporated in Australia, operating multiple exploration licences including its key project, the Imwelo Gold Project in Tanzania ('Imwelo'), located adjacent to Imweru and also holds the relevant environmental approvals and mining licence for Imwelo.
Agreement Highlights
· JV Funding:
§ LVG will earn a JV-interest of up to 80% in the JV and will be responsible for 100% of the JV funding requirements.
§ All debt funding required by the JV will be procured or provided by LVG.
§ The JV will reimburse Katoro for previous expenditures in the amount of € 792,000 on or before 31 December 2023 (overdue, update on payment or bring the Gold project back).
· Cancellation Agreement: The original Agreement to dispose of the Project will be cancelled by mutual consent of the parties.
Katoro CEO, Louis Coetzee, commented: "The decision to cancel the sale of the Project and to enter into a Joint Venture instead was a strategic decision by the Katoro Board to address challenges that made it impossible to complete the sale agreement within an acceptable time frame. We are looking forward to growing this JV-partnership with LVG, who is currently developing the Imwelo Gold Project. With Imwelo being located adjacent to Imweru and in advanced stage of development towards first production, we believe that the combination of the two projects will create a larger and significantly more economic project that will be able to attract suitable funding to accelerate the further development and exploitation of the combined gold mining project."
Easy win for the new board - show us the EURO 792,000 cash or give the Gold JORC project back into the portfolio.
