About Celamin Holdings NL
Celamin Holdings NL (ASX Code CNL) is an ASX listed company focused on the exploration and development of resource projects in North Africa initially in Tunisia and Algeria.
Through Celamin Ltd (Celamin), the Company's immediate focus is the Bir El Afou Phosphate project held in partnership with local company Tunisian Mining Services SA (TMS). A pre feasibility study has now been completed at Bir El Afou and, following the study’s recommendation, further delineation work is ongoing.
Celamin also holds another Phosphate exploration permit in Tunisia with TMS (Chaketma). This project has larger target potential than Bir El Afou. The Chaketma project would use the same rail and port infrastructure as for the Bir El Afou project. The first results from channel sampling and drilling at Chaketma have been announced.
Celamin continues to step up work to carry out a due diligence drilling program for its farm-in to an Exploitation Permit at the Oued El Kabir precious and base metal project in Algeria.
Celamin has also acquired rights to several base metal tailings Projects in Tunisia with TMS and is the holder of three Exploration Permits with base metal (Pb/Zn) targets on a 50/50 basis with TMS.
