Report for the first quarter 2010, ended March 31,
Report for the first quarter 2010, ended March 31,
IGE Resources AB (former International Gold Exploration IGE AB) ("IGE"
or the "Company") announces results for the first quarter 2010, ended
March 31, 2010.
Summary first quarter:
. For the first quarter of 2010 IGE reports a net loss of MSEK -21,7 or
SEK -0.03 per share, compared to a loss of MSEK -5.3 or SEK -0.01 per
share in the first quarter of 2009. The result includes non recurring
costs of SEK 10.8 million related to the purchase of the activities of
Pangea Diamondfields and a loss of SEK 4.9 million from sale of
exploration permits.
. IGE announced on the 22nd of February 2010, that it has entered into a
conditional sales and purchase agreement whereby IGE acquires all assets
and activities of Pangea DiamondFields plc (AIM:PDF) through the
purchase of the entire issued share capital of Pangea's subsidiary
Efidium Ltd. This effective merger creates a significant diamond
exploration and mining company with resources spread across three
Southern African countries. The transaction was completed on the 31st of
March 2010.
. IGE reached a new milestone in Angola, with Endiama announcing that
IGE has fulfilled the obligations required to move towards
commercialisation of the Luxinge project. According to Endiama, IGE has
fulfilled the requirements set out in the executive decree 49/2008 in
the Luxinge joint venture, which implies that IGE is one step closer to
the commercialisation of the project.
. IGE announces encouraging results from exploration trenching at its
Kenyan gold license. The preliminary results of a reconnaissance
trenching and drilling program at the Atieli target (Kisii Special
License 209) in Kenya, fully owned by IGE, are encouraging as they
suggest a potential high-tonnage, low-grade mineralized system that
could be exploited open-cast. The results indicate the presence of a
gold-mineralized system, including both high-grade narrow mineralization
and low-grade wider mineralization.
. IGE submitted its applications for Exploitation Concessions for the
Rönnbäcken Nickel Project to the Mining Inspectorate of Sweden
("Bergsstaten"). The applications for Exploitation Concessions,
including Environmental Impact Assessments were submitted on the 12th of
February 2010. The application process is estimated to take three to six
months. An Exploitation Concession is granted if there is a probability
for an economic exploitation of the deposit and if the site is
considered appropriate from an environmental point of view. The latter
requirement calls for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be
included in the application. The Exploitation Concession grants the
right to carry out mineral exploitation for a twenty-five year period.
