  • European Lithium Limited lists on the ASX (ASX: EUR)

  • Executive Chairman signs new 3 year contract

CORPORATE

Strategy and Business Model

Cape Lambert Resources Limited ( ASX: CFE ) ( Cape Lambert or the Company ) is an Australian domiciled, fully funded, mineral development company. Cape Lambert has interests in several exploration and mining companies, providing exposure to iron ore, copper, gold, uranium, manganese, lithium and lead-silver-zinc assets in Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa and South America (refer Figure 1).

Cape Lambert’s strategy is to acquire and invest in undervalued and/or distressed mineral assets and companies ( Projects ) and:

  • improve the value of these Projects, through a hands on approach to management, exploration, evaluation and development; and

  • retain long-term exposure to these Projects through a production royalty and/or equity interest.

Cape Lambert aims to deliver Shareholder value by adding value to these undeveloped Projects. If Projects are converted into cash, the Company intends to follow a policy of distributing surplus cash to Shareholders.

Capital Management

African Minerals Limited Shareholding

As previously announced, the Company advised Shareholders that administrators had been appointed to manage the affairs, business and property of African Minerals Limited ( AML ).

Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company advised shareholders that AML had divested their shareholding and no longer hold any shares in Cape Lambert.

Timis Mining Corporation Royalty

As previously announced, Cape Lambert will receive a royalty of US$2 per tonne of iron concentrate ( Royalty ) exported from the Timis Marampa Iron Ore Mine ( Mine ), which is payable on a quarterly basis. The Royalty of US$2 per tonne is payable on production of 24mt from the Mine.

There has been no change during the quarter and the Mine remains on care and maintenance however the Company does note the positive changes in the iron ore price during the period. The payment from Timis Mining to Cape Lambert of US$2,566,420 for the March 2015 quarter royalty also remains unpaid. The Company is in negotiations with Timis to expeditate a resolution regarding the unpaid amount.

ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ended 30 Sept 2016

September

Timis Mining Corporation Bridging Finance

The Company provided Bridging finance of US$8 million to Timis Mining which was repayable to the Company in October 2015 and incurs interest of 3 month US LIBOR (London interbank offered rate) + 6%. The principal and interest was due to be repaid to Cape Lambert in one payment on 21 October 2015 and could be extended by the parties on mutually agreed terms.

There has been no change during the quarter and repayment of the bridging finance is yet to be received by the Company. The Company is in negotiations with Timis to expeditate a resolution regarding the facility.

European Lithium Limited

On 11 May 2016, the Company announced that Euro Lithium Limited ( Euro Lithium ) is aiming to list on the ASX by way of reverse takeover with Paynes Find Gold Limited ( ASX: PNE ) ( Paynes ).

Euro Lithium is the 100% owner of the Wolfsberg lithium project which is located in Carinthia, 270 kilometers south of Vienna, Austria ( Wolfsberg ). Wolfsberg has a JORC compliant inferred resource of 3,700,000 tonnes at 1.5% Li²O (55,000 tonnes contained lithium) with additional drilling due to commence before completion of the transaction with a view of upgrading the resource. Euro Lithium has spent EUR€11.53 million on acquiring and exploring Wolfsberg which includes the completion of 17,000 metres of drilling and 1,400 metres of declines, drives and crosscuts. Wolfsberg has a planned production profile of 15 to 20 months following the proposed acquisition by Paynes.

On 25 July 2016, Paynes shareholders approved the resoulutions to proceed with this transaction. On 16 September 2016, Euro Lithium was reinstated to the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange.

Cape Lambert owns a 13.57% shareholding in Euro Lithium.

Executive Chairman’s Contract

On 26 August 2016, the Company entered into a new consultancy agreement with Okewood Pty Ltd ( Okewood ) to provide the services of Chairman of Cape Lambert.

PROJECTS

Marampa (100% interest)

Marampa is an iron ore project at the development stage, and is located 90 km northeast of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa ( Marampa or Marampa Project ) (refer Figure 2). Marampa comprises one granted mining licence (ML05/2014) comprising 79.40km[2] and two granted exploration licences (EL46A/2011 – 159.78 km[2] and EL46B/2011 – 66.00km[2 ] (formerly EL46/2011 – 305.18km[2] )) held by Marampa Iron Ore (SL) Limited, which is indirectly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert.

The Marampa Project is currently under care and maintenance.

Dempsey Resources (100% interest)

Dempsey Resources holds the Kukuna Iron Ore Project located in Sierra Leone ( Kukuna or Kukuna Project ).

The Project is located 120 km northeast of Freetown in the northwest of Sierra Leone and consists of one exploration licence (EL22/2012) covering 68km[2] (refer Figure 2). The licence is located 70km due north of the Marampa Project and the Pepel Infrastructure and comprises rocks that correlate with the Marampa Group stratigraphy known to host specular hematite mineralisation.

The Kukuna Project is currently under care and maintenance.

Metal Exploration Limited (100% interest)

Metal Exploration (Mauritius) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert, holds 15 granted exploration licences and one application in Sierra Leone covering approximately 1,688km[2 ] (refer Figure 2). This land package covers the region 70km to the north and south of Marampa and is referred to as the Rokel Iron Ore Project ( Rokel or Rokel Project ). Rocks from the Marampa Group exist throughout the licence areas, much the same as the Marampa Project, and are known to host specularite schist bearing units.

The Rokel Project is currently under care and maintenance.

Cote D’Ivoire (100% interest)

Metals Exploration Cote D’Ivoire SA Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert Resources. The Company holds three tenements in the highly prospective Birimian Gold Belt of Cote D’Ivoire. The tenements are named Boundiali North (400km[2] ), Katiola (400km[2] ) and Bouake (400km[2] ) for a total land position of 1,200km[2 ] ( Tenements ) (refer Figure 3).

The Company announced during the March 2016 quarter (refer to ASX announcement of 23 March 2016) that it had executed a sale and purchase agreement with a subsidiary of Newcrest Mining Limited (Newcrest) for the sale of its Tenements.

The consideration for the Sale was US$332,500, less a US$50,000 non-refundable deposit which has already been paid, plus a 1% net smelter return royalty on gold produced from the Licences capped at US$1million.

ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ended 30 Sept 2016

The Sale remains subject to Newcrest receiving approval from the Minister of Mines for the transfer of the Licences, which is yet to occur but now expected to occur in the October 2016 quarter.

Mining International Pty Ltd (100% Interest)

Mining International Pty Ltd ( Mining International ), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert. The Company holds tenure to 4 mining leases (which were excluded from the sale of the Leichhardt Copper Project) and 4 granted exploration permits for minerals (EPM’s) at the Wee MacGregor Project located 40 km southeast of Mt Isa in Queensland (refer Figure 4).

The tenements are located within in the Eastern Fold Belt of the Mt Isa inlier. The easternmost tenements are located in the Mary Kathleen Zone/Wonga Subprovince. The western group of tenements are located in the Kalkadoon Leichhardt Belt. These areas are prospective for a variety of deposit types, most notably structurally controlled epigenetic copper and gold deposits.

The Wee MacGregor tenements can be classed as brownfields exploration as several copper occurrences and historical workings occur within the tenement boundaries. In addition, there are numerous under-explored geochemical and geophysical anomalies defined by previous explorers.

Mining International finalized the Cultural Heritage Management Agreement with the native title holders for mining lease ML2771.

Mining International granted Argosy Minerals Limited a 6 month extension to the 12 month time period for the minimum $250k expenditure required by the Farm-in Agreement for the Wee McGregor tenements (ML2504, ML2773 and ML90098).

During the quarter, Mining International executed a Farm-in Joint Venture Agreement with Firebird Minerals Pty Ltd ( Firebird ) for its Lady Ethleen Project located on ML2771. Under the terms of the agreement;

  • Firebird will earn an 80% interest in ML2771 subject to meeting a Project expenditure requirement of $100,000 by 5 August 2017, or otherwise making a “Decision to Mine” prior to that date; and

  • Firebird will manage all exploration, development and mining activities at the Project.
