Polymetal International plc
New exploration JV with a junior in Chukotka
Polymetal formed a partnership with a company associated with Mineral
Exploration Network (Finland) Ltd ("MEN") for early-stage exploration in the
Chaunsk region of Chukotka, Russia.
"Our strategy of working with junior explorers is gaining momentum", said
Vitaly Nesis, Group CEO of Polymetal. "MEN has extensive and varied
experience in using advanced state-of-the-art methods of prospecting and
grassroots exploration."
The objective of the JV is to discover high-grade near-surface gold
mineralisation that can provide feed for the Mayskoye processing plant. The
plant is capable for treating both sulphide ore through the flotation
circuit and oxide ore through the CIL circuit.
Polymetal and MEN have entered into an agreement whereby:
? Polymetal has agreed to fund a staged exploration campaign that will
take place in 2020-2023 and is expected to result in an initial
JORC-compliant Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimate.
? Polymetal will earn 25% in the JV by contributing RUB 20 million
(approx. US$ 0.3 million) to the share capital with an option to increase
its stake to 80% by contributing RUB 60 million (US$ 0.9 million) upon
completion of the first-year field program in 2020.
? Polymetal will also retain a 5-year option to increase its interest to
100% subject to positive exploration results.
? Total investments by Polymetal are not expected to exceed US$ 10
million.
MEN - is an experienced UK-based junior explorer with a strong track record
of prospecting in Finland and Spain. MEN will assume responsibility for
prospecting an area, which covers approximately 83 km2 in the Chaunsk region
of Chukotka.
