The company has at present an interest in a project in Vietnam and in four joint ventures in Papua New Guinea and has given an update on these developlments.
Vietnam: Pu Sam Cap The company is awaiting assay results. If these results are sufficiently encouraging they should provide the vectors to identify some deep drill holes.
Papua New Guinea: Wamum The company has accepted, subject to contract, an offer of US$ 750,000, payable in cash, to purchase its 12.14% contributing interest in the Wamum project. One of the conditions is that Barrick completes its negotiations for a joint venture involving its 87.86% interest. These negotiations are still progressing.
Papua New Guinea: Morobe The company is in advanced discussions with another junior company with a view to taking an interest in one of the licence areas.
Papua New Guinea: Crater Mountain The company notes that progress in completing the conditions to its divestiture of this asset has been slow. As a result the Australian $200,000 (which is due to the company under the contract in respect of the sale of its former interest in the Crater Mountain project) is still in the Escrow Account.
Papua New Guinea: Manus Island The company’s partner Newcrest are assessing potential drilling targets and Triple Plate expects them to take a view on a possible drilling programme during the first half of 2014.
