Lindian Resource Limited ( Lindian or Company ) (ASX: LIN) is pleased to announce it has completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Tangold Pty Ltd ( Tangold ) as announced to the market on 6 October 2016.
Mr Matt Bull has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Bull is an exploration geologist who has worked on a wide range of commodities including graphite, gold and iron ore. He has considerable experience in greenfield exploration and resource development programs. He is currently a non-executive director of Volt Resources (ASX: VRC) where he was instrumental in the company’s growth, progressing its Tanzanian graphite project towards production.
Directors of Lindian were accompanied by Mr Bull and an in-country Tanzanian exploration geologist who previously worked for the Tanzanian Projects’ previous owner for a thorough due diligence review of the Tanzanian Projects between 29 October and 2 November 2016.
The focus of the site visit was to allow the Directors to obtain an overall assessment of the historical exploration activities, which include geophysics, trenching, RC drilling and diamond drilling.
Technical activities were largely centred of the Uyowa deposit where extensive drilling has been carried out by both AngloGold Ashanti and Lake Victoria Gold.
During the site visit, various meetings were held in Dar es Salaam, Tabora and Mwanza, which allowed the Directors to discuss the historical exploration activities with the in-country exploration geologists, government officials and in-country legal counsel.
