Morocco approves tin project − Kasbah
PERTH (miningweekly.com) − The Moroccan Ministry for Energy, Mines, Water and Environment has approved the assignment of the Achmmach tin project, ASX junior Kasbah Resources said on Friday.
Under the terms of the original agreement between Kasbah and the Office National des Hydrocarbures et Des Mines (ONHYM), the mining permits that encompass the Achmmach tin deposit would be assigned for $5-million.
ONHYM was also entitled to a 3% net smelter royalty, payable at the end of the first year of production from Achmmach. The total consideration would be paid in five equal parts, over five years, with the title to the permits transferring on the first payment.
Following the Moroccan government approval, the first payment would now be made.
This is a significant milestone in Kasbahs development and the culmination of many years of work with ONHYM, said MD Wayne Bramwell on Friday.
The completion of the assignment secures the jewel in the companys crown and provides a strong base to expand our presence in Morocco. It also demonstrates the proactive and forward thinking approach of the Moroccan government, the Ministry for Energy and Mines, and ONHYM to diversify the mining sector in Morocco.
Bramwell said that he believed Kasbah could make the Achmaach tin project a showcase for the Moroccan mining sector, and a significant producer in the international tin sector.
The Achmmach project is considered to be one of the largest undeveloped tin deposits in the world. Kasbah as defined a seven-million ton ore resource, grading 0.8% tin.
