|
| | June 06, 2007. MBMI RESOURCES INC. (MBR:TSXV) ("MBMI") ("the Company") is pleased to advise, that it has entered into an long-term Purchase Agreement for Nickel Ore in regards to a nickel project on Dinagat Island, Philippines held by a private Philippine mining company. MBMI will provide financial and technical services; marketing and transaction services with respect to the liquidation of the nickel products produced. The agreement term is for the life of the exploration, development, and exploitation of the property.
MBMI will provide pre-export financing for the project which will be secured by the nickel product stockpiles. Subject to receipt of all requisite permits, and approvals, production is expected to commence during 2007. The counterparty to this agreement holds an MPSA (mineral production sharing agreement) over the property and is in process of securing all required permits to enable the commencement of production. Based upon the results of the 2007 program, MBMI's objective is to increase nickel product shipments in 2008.
The price the parties will receive for nickel product is calculated as a percentage of the LME price. The percentage varies according to the nickel grade and is calculated on the contained nickel content of the ore, on a dry basis. The agreement is subject to exchange and regulatory approval.
MBMI and its Philippine partners jointly control a 100% interest in eight additional nickel laterite projects in Palawan and Samar, Philippines covering an area in excess of 22,000 hectares where the objective is to develop a series of major suppliers of high-grade nickel products to the primary nickel consumers in Asia.
