Tronox-Image Sale of the Mullering Tenements
Corporate
Tronox Tenement Sale Agreement and Mining Royalty Agreement
Tronox have agreed with the terms which include $50,000 cash payment and a sliding royalty concerning the sale of the Mullering tenements (E70/4129 and E70/4130). The sliding royalty will be based on quarterly production figures on minerals which may be found and will be as follows:
If the average grade is > than 2% but <4% than royalty will be pro rata from 0 to 5%. All + 4% grade receives 5% royalty.
For example: at 2.5% average grade the royalty will be 1.25% at 3.0% average grade the royalty will be 2.50% at 3.5% average grade the royalty will be 3.75% at 4.0% average grade the royalty will be 5.00%
These two tenements are adjacent to Tronox’s dredging operation (Fig1) .Public record shows a number of dredging areas under application for potential mining adjacent to the two Mullering tenements.
Exploration
In addition Image Resources has outlined a new exploration zone which is located only 3 km west of a proposed Tronox dredge development area. This new project is within a 10km long x1.5km wide area. Work to date has utilised historical drilling, ground magnetics, aeromagnetics and topography. The target areas that have been selected have similar properties to the proposed Tronox dredging areas east of Image’s Woolka EL (E70/4244). This interpretation infers an extension of the Tronox proposed dredge area within our Woolka ground has not been previously drilled.
Separately, Tronox have also previously reviewed and analysed samples from Atlas, Hyperion, Helene and Gingin South Deposits. These deposits are near their existing mining and processing centres and are believed to be of interest for their dry mining potential.
George Sakalidis Director of Exploration commented, “that the above Mining/Royalty transaction is consistent with Image’s Strategy to continue to evaluate all possible development scenarios with all possible Miners that have operating infrastructure and plants in WA or elsewhere”.
