"Initial indications from the due diligence at the Kabwe Mine in Zambia, show that the metal contained in the washplant dumps meets the Company's expectations and we look forward to completing the acquisition of these and the other dumps as soon as possible. Following the recent fundraising we have the monies in place to complete the purchase subject to final satisfaction of due diligence enquires. Following the passing of today's resolutions BMR is in a very strong position and I would like to thank the shareholders for their continued support."
The Company has also issued 3,333,333 Ordinary Shares in lieu of commission due in respect of the recent placing.
