Luiri Gold Limited (ASX:LGM)(TSX VENTURE:LGL), ("Luiri" or the "Company) an East
African gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce its
Quarterly Activities Report for the 3 months ended 31 October 2011.
LUIRI HILL GOLD PROJECT
Mining License Reinstatement
With the reinstatement of the large-scale mining license, the Company is gearing
up to recommence full-scale exploration activities and development studies in
Zambia. The mining license 8074-HQ-LML (previously called LML 48) contains the
Matala and Dunrobin gold deposits in the Company's Luiri Hill Gold Project.
Under the terms of the settlement reached with the Government of Zambia and
other agreements with relevant stakeholders:
-- The Government of Zambia has extinguished the Cancellation Notice issued
on 15 June 2010 in respect of LML 48, and the Company has discontinued
its appeal against the decision of the Honourable Minister of Mines.
Accordingly, the Government of Zambia has confirmed that LML 48 is once
again valid and effective as if the Cancellation Notice had never been
issued. Under the new naming system, this license is now known as 8074-
HQ-LML.
-- As a key part of the settlement, the Company has agreed to continue
project development activities and to be in a position to commence
construction of a mining project prior to December 31, 2013. The
timeframe allows for two complete dry seasons in which to progress and
complete field exploration and development studies. The directors of
Luiri believe this provides the Company with sufficient time to complete
the necessary exploration activities prior to commencing possible mine
development.
-- The Company has also made meaningful commitments to the local community
with the initial funding of a community development trust and the
facilitation and funding of a community development committee, each as
further described below.
The agreements are the result of extensive negotiations by the management team
of Luiri with the relevant Zambian Government departments and stakeholders to
resolve the various issues that had caused the Cancellation Notice. During the
negotiations, Luiri demonstrated good faith by continuing to employ 29 full time
workers and taking on 15 additional personnel on short-term contracts to
progress exploration trenching in preparation for a new drilling program.
Other Tenement Matters
During the quarter, negotiations with the Zambian government also considered
future access to the ground previously covered by the Company's two prospecting
licenses. The following outcomes have been established at the date of this
report as a result of these negotiations:
-- PL209 and PL 173 were due to expire on 1 October 2011 and 31 July 2011
respectively which was, in both cases, earlier than Company records had
indicated;
-- Both licenses had previously been renewed by the former management for
the maximum number of times so further renewals were not possible;
-- The former management of the Company had applied for a new mining
license on the part of PL173 that was to the east of 8074-HQ-LML (LML48)
and prospective for gold mineralisation. However, this application had
not progressed due to the suspension of LML48.
Negotiations are continuing with the Zambian Government in regard to these
license issues.
As a result of these outcomes, the Company has sharpened its strategic focus
onto the development of a gold project. These outcomes have also resulted in the
Nambala Iron Ore prospect no longer being held by the Company.
The Company had reviewed the Nambala Iron Ore prospect and considered it as a
possible source of iron ore for a small-scale Zambian steelmaking operation.
Regional transport infrastructure constraints added to the limited known
geological potential of the project contributed to the Company placing little
immediate value on the Nambala Iron Ore prospect. The new management has focused
on ensuring the Company regained access to its gold prospective areas as the
source of future shareholder value.
Exploration Activities
During the quarter, the Company initiated work in preparation for the resumption
of full-scale exploration activities. Discussions were held with Coffey
Associates, Perth Office, ("Coffey") who had been responsible for the major part
of previous resource estimates. Following recommendations from Coffey, Maxwell
GeoServices ("Maxwell") were engaged to reorganize, validate and maintain the
Company's geological database. The information comprising the geological
database has been collected and provided to Maxwell. Coffey Associates will be
in Zambia during November 2011, for site visits to the Luiri Hill Project, and
to the Company's Lusaka office. Core samples from previous exploration are kept
on the project site whilst hard copies of exploration records are kept in the
Lusaka office.
The Company also updated its geological mapping hardware and software. Local
copies of the geological database will be used in planning and coordination of
field activities.
Recruitment of Local Geologists
During the quarter, geologists and other technical staff from Caracle Creek
International Consulting (CCIC) supported the Company's exploration activities.
The Company has entered a consulting agreement with CCIC, who will supply long
term support to the exploration work.
The Company also plans to engage two experienced local geologists to oversee
exploration work on the Luiri Hill Gold Project. Recruitment activities were
commenced and at the time of publication of this report, two suitable candidates
had been engaged.
Community and Environment
A key plank in the Company's negotiations in securing a reinstatement of its
mining lease was reaching agreements with the local community and Senior Chief.
These agreements will form a stable base from which the Company can develop
strong local alliances into the future. The Company has agreed to:
-- pay US150,000 to establish and fund a community development trust fund
(the "Community Fund"), which has been established by His Royal
Highness, Senior Chief Shakumbila.
-- issue (or transfer) to the Community Fund shares in Luiri Gold having a
value equivalent to 5% of the market value of the project, based on an
independent valuation of the project at the date of issue.
-- Facilitate and fund a local community development committee drawn from
the Shakumbila Chiefdom. This committee will monitor and administer the
funding of social development projects and activities within the Luiri
Gold project area.
-- Engage Senior Chief Shakumbila as a consultant to advise on issues
concerning the Company's interaction with the local community as well as
the Government of Zambia.
The Company has reviewed previous environmental studies and plans to actively
revalidate these in the forthcoming quarter. This will include continuation of
the previous base line environmental assessments so that any development
activities are in line with international best practices.
