PROJECT DEVELOPMENT (GHANA, WEST AFRICA)
The completion of the grant of the option with Castle Minerals (ASX:CDT) on the Antubia Gold Project occurred in late January 2014. In consideration of the grant of the option Merah made a cash payment of AUD$85,000 and issued 2,000,000 million fully paid ordinary Merah shares to Castle Minerals. The Company can exercise the Antubia option at any time on or before the date that is 24 months from the date of completion of the grant of the option.
Merah has completed a heliborne VTEM survey, ground magnetics and reconnaissance field visits at the Antubia Gold Project. Programs of infill soil geochemistry, trenching and subsequent RC drilling have been planned for the Antubia Gold Project.
Limited progress was made on the completion of the remaining conditions precedent to finalise the grant of the option agreement with Castle Minerals on the Kong Gold Project. These conditions precedent are now expected to be finalised in the second quarter of 2014.
The company continues to review its strategy in relation to the funding and execution of its proposed exploration activity on its Ghanaian gold assets, including a number of early stage discussions with potential project partners.
