STRATEGIC REPORT - REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The company's principal investments are in Canada and Cameroon. The Canadian
interests are mining licences in the Province of Quebec held through the wholly
owned subsidiary, Kings of the North Corp. BWA Resources (UK) Limited, 90%
owned, owns 100% of its subsidiaries in Cameroon: BWA Resources Cameroon Limited
and BWA Minerals Cameroon Limited. During the period under review there have
been significant developments in the Cameroon operations.
BWA Cameroon Limited has now been granted a further three exploration licences
for Heavy Mineral Sands, (primary Rutile), in Cameroon, taking its total to
five. The licensed areas lie along and in the estuary of the Nyong and Sanaga
rivers, covering a total licence area of 1,421 sq. kms. BWA Minerals Cameroon
Limited has applied for, but not yet granted, two similar licences each covering
up to 500 sq. kms each.
Over the 18 month period, activity in Cameroon has been directed towards
continuing exploration work in the two, original, licence areas and preliminary
work on the three new licence areas. At the start of the period, a JORC
compliant Competent Persons Report on the Nkoteng 1 and Dehane licences areas
stated:-
"Tecoma are encouraged by the level of grade and extent of all the target
minerals throughout the Nkoteng and Dehane licences.
Geological setting including observed basement geology and depositional
environment are considered highly prospective for alluvial heavy mineral sands
development.
The results to date are considered positive and demonstrate the grades and
thicknesses of potential economic interest over significant lateral extents, and
warrant further investigation and advanced exploration work, including drill
testing, mineral resource estimation leading to preliminary conceptual mining
studies and economic evaluation."
Over the following 18 months to 30 June 2023, BWA has continued to work on and
develop its five licence sites, which have been reported in the following
announcements:
1. Positive Mineral Results for Nkoteng & Dehane Projects (1 February 2022)
2. Completion of mechanised Auger Sampling at Nkoteng 1 of 107 holes drilled,
over 193 meters with 171 primary samples (29 June 2022)
3. Results of Granulometric Test-Work at Nkoteng Project (7 September 2022)
4. Grant of Licences & Access for 3 Exploration Licences (13 December 2022)
5. Reconnaissance Site Visit to Dehane 2 (6 April 2023)
The above announcements can be viewed on the company's website:
http://www.bwagroupplc.com/bwa-announcements.html.
The Directors are pleased with the results to date while post period-end
announced an Offer for Subscription to raise up to £900,000 to finance working
capital and the provision of a Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary
Economic Assessment for the Dehane 1 area, where investigations to date have
produced encouraging results.
In Canada the two licence areas in Quebec, Winterhouse and Isoukustouc, have
received care and maintenance attention only, pending settlement of litigation
with St Georges Eco-Mining Corp. A proposed settlement offer has been received
and is under negotiation.
