Dear Sir
UPDATE ON ZINIFEX ORE OFF-TAKE AGREEMENT
Bass Metals Ltd (ASX:BSM) is pleased to advise that Zinifex Australia Limited has provided the following update in respect of the outstanding conditions in the Heads of Agreement covering the terms and conditions of an Ore Sales & Purchase Agreement for the Que River mining project.
Requirements in relation to the ore trial through the Rosebery mill, metallurgical test work on goldrich samples and metallurgical test work on high-grade zinc-lead-gold-silver samples have been completed to Zinifex’s satisfaction. The final outstanding condition involves community consultation on ore haulage and is expected to be resolved during the month.
BSM is now finalising its Que River Mine study to update the financial outcomes for the final ore sales terms and current metal prices and outlook. The Company is also in discussion with several banking groups to secure financing to fund the initial development and working capital needs of the project.
I look forward to providing further updates on the Que River project in the near term.
Yours Sincerely
