Company update on activities
The Company has been mindful of current market conditions and has rationalised corporate costs to focus on exploration and project development expenditure. The focus for the company is now to prioritise key targets within its existing portfolio of tenements and to identify value add project opportunities utilising the recent technical data obtained.
As part of the overall cost and project review, Select has refined its exploration expenditure to focus on analytical review of the Tanzanian data (country wide airborne magnetics) to potentially derisk exploration targets before any hard drilling costs are incurred.
Tanzanian Authorities are currently in the process of reviewing the guidelines relating to Exploration Activities within Game Parks and Reserves. Until those guidelines are released the Directors consider it prudent to restrict expenditure on licenses that sit within such areas.
General Manager – Project Generation, Ms Regina Molloy has been focussing her attention on pursuing areas identified as prospective for multiple commodities, via new license applications and/or joint venture/buy out negotiations (where the prospective area is currently under tenure).
