Red Rock Resources plc

Resource Star Limited - Acquisition of balance of Livingstonia Uranium Project

 

Date: 15 May 2012

 

Red Rock Resources plc ("Red Rock" or the "Company"), a mining and exploration company with a producing gold mine in Columbia; Kenyan gold and Greenland iron ore exploration projects; and interests in steel feed, uranium and rare earths, announces that its 40.32% owned associate company, Resource Star Limited (ASX:RSL)("RSL"), is to acquire the 80% of the Livingstonia Uranium Project in Malawi not already owned.

 

RSL has already earned a 20% equity interest from Globe Metals and Mining Limited ("Globe") under the farm in joint venture announced in March 2010. Globe will at the same time acquire the remaining 80% not owned of the Machinga Niobium-Rare Earth Project from RSL. RSL and Globe will grant each other a gross revenue royalty interest of 0.7% for Machinga and 1% for Livingstonia. There is no cash component to the transaction.

 

The Livingstonia Uranium Project includes a JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 8.3 million tonnes averaging 325ppm eU3O8 for a contained 6 million pounds of eU3O8 at a cut-off grade of 150ppm.

 

The transaction will simplify RSL, enable it to concentrate on a uranium property with scope for resource expansion that it believes to be an attractive asset, and enhance its operational and strategic flexibility.
