Mick Adam/Wadi Gold Heap Leach Project Farm In and JV Agreement Finalised
Waratah Gold Ltd (ASX:WGO) and Hayes Mining Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cazaly Resources Ltd (ASX:CAZ) are pleased to announce that the Farm In and JV Agreement for the Mick Adam/Wadi gold project has been finalized.
The Mick Adam and Wadi gold deposits are located in the Western Australia’s goldfields region and provide Waratah and Cazaly with a mine development opportunity with an excellent potential of delivering near-term revenues for the companies.
Previous metallurgical testwork has indicated that the deposits are amenable to a low cost heap leach process route with favourable recoveries. It is considered that heap leaching offers many advantages over traditional processing for this project. Heap leaching is a low capital cost option with short timeframes for production of gold. It is the intention of Waratah to move toward production in a timely manner to capitalise on strong gold prices.
Under the terms of the formal Farm In and JV agreement Waratah will earn a 50% interest in the project by meeting all annual rents, rates and expenditure over a two year period. Waratah will also be deemed to have earned their interest prior to the two year period when commercial production of minerals through mining operations commence.
Waratah is required to complete a scoping study and mining proposal within 4 months of signing of the agreement. Waratah is pleased to report that the release of the results of the scoping study is imminent. Under the agreement a decision to mine is required within 12 months of the completion of the scoping study. A $50,000 payment will be made to Cazaly once a decision to mine has been made.
Waratah is the manager of the project and will meet all expenses associated with the project. All expenses will be repaid to Waratah prior to profits being shared on a 50/50 basis between Waratah and Cazaly. Waratah will retain their share of mineral rights over the project area for a period of five years and retains a right to withdraw from the project at any point after paying a pro rata share of expenditure obligations.
Waratah’s managing director, Mr Andrew Maurice stated: “Waratah is pleased to conclude this transaction and move toward becoming a gold producer in a relatively short timeframe in a period of historically high gold prices. We look forward to providing the market with the results of the scoping study in the near future.”
