Xstrata option payment of US$10M
Xstrata has option to acquire a collective 50% participating interest in the Properties from Nkwe and Genorah. Ultimate transaction is likely to result in Nkwe and Xstrata each holding a 50% participating interest with Genorah holding approximately 65% of Nkwe’s issued capital (fully diluted).
The Option is exercisable at Xstrata’s election following the completion of the BFS scheduled for completion in Q4 2009/ Q1 2010
If the Option is exercised, Xstrata will fund the total development cost of the Properties with the construction of 2 underground mines (both reefs) and associated concentrator facilities (approx US$1,2Bn).
JV partners will undertake feasibility study for the development of downstream processing capability to develop a vertically integrated mine to market business.
The proposed 50:50 JV will include any contiguous properties currently (or in the future) controlled by Nkwe or Xstrata.
