RE: Has BGS been in disarray.3 Feb 2019 12:00
GFD, their is no investigation.
Understandingly it’s the frustration of BGS holders, which I can completely understand.
BGS statement:
Applications were lodged for the second renewal of 3 permits:
Finkola (PR 13/640), Diokelebougou (PR 13/639) and Makono (PR 13/637). Aretes for Finkola and Diokelebougou were signed off by the Minister of Mines and Petroleum on 31 December 2018 and the Arete for Makono is yet to be received.
Birimian continues to seek approval from the Government of Mali for two exploration permit applications for Mafele (100 km2) and Nkemene (95 km2), situated adjacent to the Company’s Torakoro permit. The company has been made aware that competing applications for the area covered by Mafele and Nkemene may have been granted to a third party and the company is currently seeking to clarify the position with the relevant authority in Mali. If this is the case, this not expected to materially impact on the Goulamina Project as the area of the application was to be:
(a) explored for its lithium prospectivity and as such, the published Reserves and Resources for the Goulamina Project are unaffected as is the further prospectivity of the Torakoro Permit which has only been explored as to 12%
