Negotiations are currently under way with the formation of a Joint
Venture with a Zimbabwean company who have access to large deposits
of high quality Chrome. Random Assay tests indicate Chrome content
around the 49% mark. Geological tests are currently under way to
ascertain reserves.
Substantial capital injection for the erection of a Mobile
Processing Plant is well advanced as it is the JV Partners intention
to produce Ferrochrome for export rather than sell Lumpy.
Due to the severe lack of logistical capabilities currently being
experienced in Zimbabwe, it is not a feasible option to export
lumpy. Furthermore, as it is our company philosophy to assist the
local population in any area into which we operate, we believe, as
do our JV Partners, that establishing such a plant would have an
immeasurable financial advantage to the local economy. We aim to
partner local communities in developing their economic status so
that both they and ourselves benefit from the venture.
We anticipate being able to supply Ferro Chrome sometime during the
mid part of 2011
