Award of £85 million Mining Services Contract

 

Specialty metal exploration and development company Wolf Minerals Limited (ASX: WLF) (AIM: WLFE) ("Wolf" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has awarded an £85 million (A$140 million1) Mining Services Contract (the "Contract") for the Hemerdon tungsten and tin project to CA Blackwell (Contracts) Limited ("Blackwell").

The Contract is made up of two parts

• Phase 1, Mining pre-strip and Mine development,

• Phase 2, Mine production.

The Contract term for phase one is 11 months from the commencement date, followed by phase 2 which has a five year term from completion of phase 1 work.

Wolf will advise Blackwell of the formal commencement date for the project work under the Contract; however it is currently expected to be in March 2014, dependent upon the progress of the project schedule.

Wolf tendered the Contract within the UK and internationally. The Company received eleven quality bids. The tenders were evaluated on the basis of quality and price. Wolf selected Blackwell for the Contract on this basis.

The Contract pricing provided by Blackwell confirms the strength of the base case financial model and compares very well with the Definitive Feasibility Study estimate of £85.5 million (A$141 million1) announced in May 2011.

Commenting on the Contract award, Wolf Minerals Managing Director, Humphrey Hale said:

"Wolf is delighted to have had such a good response to the mining tender and is pleased to be working with CA Blackwell. This is another milestone for Wolf and a headline mining project for Britain."
