Dear Sirs,
ASX Code: ZEU
Re: Statement by Zeus’ Cornerstone Shareholder
Zeus Resources Limited (“Zeus” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that in a statement to be delivered at the Australian Securities Exchange this morning the Chairman of China Metallurgical Geology Bureau (“CMGB”) Mr Lu, will make the following comments:
“I would like to say a few words about CMGB and how I see our investment in Zeus moving forward. CMGB is one of China's leading mining companies with a unique cutting edge in geological exploration. With 60 years dedicated work, CMGB currently governs 12 subordinate bureaus, institutions and centres, 6 holding companies and more than 100 entities.We have more than 15000 employees, among which over 7000 are technical personnel of various aspects. ZIMC is one of our subordinate companies with the mandate to invest in domestic and foreign mining markets. The investment made by CMGB in Zeus is only a first step. Bigger steps will follow. In China we have an expression that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
CMGB has a clear vision for Zeus. We plan on Zeus becoming a major multi-commodity mining house in Australia. We are currently examining a number of proposals to acquire large proven deposits here in Australia and move from a purely exploration company to a world class producer. Zeus will be supported by CMGB and its brilliant partners both China and worldwide in terms of capital, technology, and competent professionals in its rise to become a major mining house. Whilst it is early days, I believe we are today witnessing the rise of a new growing and vital Australian mining house forged by China and Australia.
CMGB is a state owned enterprise of the People’s Republic of China. Mr Lu is presently in Sydney and is leading a delegation of senior CMGB officials for meetings with Zeus’ board and management. CMGB, via its subsidiary, was the 32% cornerstone investor in the recent initial public offering of Zeus on ASX.
Dr Mike Etheridge, the Chairman of Zeus commented as follows:
