Akobo Minerals (Euronext Oslo – “AKOBO”), the Scandinavian-based Ethiopian gold exploration and boutique mining company, today announced that it has reached an agreement with the South African company Solo Resources (Pty) Ltd for delivery of a processing plant for production of gold at the Segele Mine.
Akobo Minerals has been engaged in targeted exploration for gold in Ethiopia for more than 10 years. After solid discoveries in Segele, the company has previously announced that it will produce the gold from this area on its own. Now the company confirms that mining will start and that it has signed an agreement with Solo Resources, which is one of the most experienced suppliers of processing plants in Africa. The company has more than 30 years of experience and has completed a total of 31 projects, of which 11 small and medium-sized gold processing plants in Africa.
Jørgen Evjen, CEO of Akobo Minerals, stated: “We have consistently delivered on all the important milestones of recent years, but this is the most important so far. With this agreement, I am confident that we will be produce gold from the Segele mine for many years to come, and that with a solid cash flow. “
Jørgen Evjen further states: “The cooperation with Solo Resources has been excellent, and I look forward to starting the work with Craig and his team. They have the experience and capacity needed, and we share much of the same corporate philosophy. I am confident this will be a success for both parties”
Craig Naude, CEO of Solo Resource Pty, stated: “We are pleased to have been recognized and appointed as the partners for Akobo Minerals. The relationship with Akobo Minerals to date has been professional and cooperative, and we are confident the management of Akobo will deliver for their shareholders. We look forward to a mutually beneficial project.”
Despite increased uncertainty in the global trade and supply chains, deliveries and commissioning will not be significantly delayed. Start-up is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2023, with efforts being made to get gold production started as early as possible.
The agreement concluded is a fixed-price contract that will provide good protection against continued uncertainty in the world economy. Entering into a fixed-price contract has in itself led to some cost increase in relation to the Scoping study. In addition, there are also other moderate cost increases due to higher prices for steel, fuel and other raw materials. Nevertheless, the company does not expect that the total investments associated with the start-up of the mining activities will be significantly higher than estimated in the Scoping study.
Other terms of the agreement are as follows
