ASX Announcement 18 December 2018

Cape Lambert to Secure an EPCF Provider to Fund and Develop the Kipushi Cobalt-Copper Tailings Project in the DRC

Australian resources and investment company, Cape Lambert Resources Limited (ASX: CFE) ( Cape Lambert or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has appointed Kobu Capital ( Kobu ) to source an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Financing ( EPCF ) provider to fund and develop the Kipushi Cobalt-Copper Tailings Project ( Project ) in the Democratic Republic of Congo ( DRC ) ( Mandate ). Kobu has already received an offer and a site visit is planned on 6[th] January 2019.

The Project consists of a tailings dam located on PE 12347 and is held by Soludo Lambert Mining SAS ( SLM ), being a 50/50 joint venture between the Company and Paragon Mining SARL ( Paragon ) (refer to ASX announcement dated 3 May 2017 for details of the joint venture arrangement).

Kobu is a venture investment platform for, amongst other things, innovative industrial technology products and believes it can offer a more economical development and financing process for the Project through partnering with its strategic Chinese partners. The purpose of an EPCF provider is for self-funding of the design and building of the process plant, with the repayment of the financing coming from future revenues of the Project.

Cape Lambert Resources Limited (ASX: CFE) is a mineral exploration and development company with a diverse portfolio and exposure to cobalt, copper, iron ore, lithium, gold, uranium and lead-silver-zinc assets in Australia, Europe, Africa and South America.

  • Following commissioning of the Project, Cape Lambert will negotiate with Ipilot to provide additional services to ensure the effective operation of the Project.

Tony Sage, Chairman, commented “it is a fantastic solution for Kobu to find an EPCF provider to fund the design and construction whilst waiting to be repaid out of future revenues of the Project. This will completely derisks the Project for our shareholders and allows the Company’s cash reserves to be deployed on other projects.”

Yours faithfully Cape Lambert Resources Limited
