African Consolidated Resources Validates Nkombwa Rare Earth Licence

African Consolidated Resources on tuesday announced that the Zambian authorities have confirmed the validity of the Nkombwa large scale prospecting licence number.

The licence is held by the company’s subsidiary, Fisherman Mining, and it encompasses the Nkombwa Hills rare earth project. It has effectively been approved as the sole existing exploration licence over the area which is recognised by and authorised by the Zambian ministry of mines.

The Nkombwa project is being advanced via a venture with Galileo Resources, which has also now confirmed that it has finalised its legal due-diligence.

Galileo is financing African Consolidated's farm-in partner, which is committed to spending US$1.35mln on defining an indicated rare earth resource estimate.

"We are delighted with this news from the Ministry in Zambia which removes any uncertainty as to the validity of our Nkombwa licence,” said chairman Roy Tucker.

“With Galileo's formal confirmation that it has finalised its legal due diligence on the Nkombwa Hills Rare Earth Project, we are now well placed to advance this valuable asset up the development curve.

“Underpinning this, Galileo has reiterated its commitment to developing the project, which has to date reported enriched outcrop samples of up to 23.6% total REE [rare earth elements] oxide over a strike length of at least 350 metres, stating that it intends to advance the project to resource definition stage in as short timeframe as practicable."
