As reported to ASX on 17 May 2012 in a report titled “Spectacular copper results from Ashburton Downs”, the project is highly prospective for various minerals including copper and gold. For more detailed description of project’s geology and historical exploration results see:
http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=pdf&idsId=01298084
Day-to-day operations of Australian Copper will be managed by MRDC staff, thus freeing Korab to devote its time, as well as financial and managerial resources to the development and commercialisation of its Northern Territory assets, including the Geolsec phosphate mine, and the Winchester magnesite mine both located approximately 80 km south of Darwin.
Korab’s Executive Chairman, Mr Andrej Karpinski commented that this transaction allows Korab to concentrate on Korab’s more mature assets with the view to generating near-term cash flow, while retaining upside from any discovery at the Ashburton Downs project.
“Having a dedicated team to explore and manage Ashburton Downs project gives us greater confidence that its potential may be realised in a shortest possible timeframe, and more importantly, that this will occur without distracting us from our main operational and strategic objectives” Mr Karpinski added.
Australian Copper will concentrate on exploration of multiple targets and prospects at Ashburton Downs including Mt Elephant Copper Complex.

The Company believes that this investment does not require Korab shareholder approval. However, should ASX determine that Korab shareholder approval is required, such approval will be sought as soon as possible.
