Lithium Update- Zimbabwe
18 August 2023
Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource exploration and
development company with interests in gold, copper, cobalt, lithium
and other minerals, announces an update to the announcements of 15
June 2023 and 3 July 2023 in relation to the Company's operations,
through its subsidiary African Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd ("ALR"),
in Zimbabwe.
Key current tasks are the beaconing and procuring of EIAs for
recently granted licence areas, establishment and testing of
representative samples, procurement of crushing and beneficiation
equipment, procuring of export licences, and establishment of sales
channels.
Discussion has begun with sales agents in China for sale of
lithium ores, and a potential contract miner/partner has sent an
experienced South African consultant geologist who from 10(th) to
14(th) August with ALR personnel conducted due diligence at ALR's
locations in Zimbabwe.
Mr Dirk Benade, B.Sc., has been engaged as Owner's
Representative and a director of ALR. A geologist with 50 years
experience of exploration, management, assaying and open pit and
underground mining, largely in Zimbabwe. He has worked for, among
others, Utah Development Company (now BHP-Utah) Anglo American,
Messina Transvaal Development and Falcon Mines. Dirk was Managing
Director of AIM-listed African Gold Plc, and Senior Geologist of
African Consolidated Resources Plc from the time of its AIM listing
in 2006 up to 2008. He has more recently been involved in private
company ventures and consulting work.
Red Rock Chairman Andrew Bell comments : "Regulatory changes
over recent months mean that we are focussed on sales to the export
market, which realise higher prices but require some combination of
selective mining and beneficiation.
Dirk comes to us highly recommended and his depth of experience
and knowledge and international business background makes him a
good complement to our enthusiastic local team."
