TORONTO, Nov. 29,
2022 /CNW/ - Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned
subsidiary, Tackle Resources Pty Ltd ("Tackle"), has entered into
an Indigenous land use agreement ("ILUA") and Ancillary Agreement
with the Gangalidda & Garawa Native Title Aboriginal
Corporation ("GGNTAC") for the Westmoreland Uranium Project. GGNTAC
hold native title as agent for the native title holders over the
area of the Westmoreland Project. The ILUA was the subject of a
successful consultation and consent process with the native title
holders which was finalised in Burketown, Queensland on November
3, 2022.
Under the ILUA, GGNTAC consents to the grant of a Mineral
Development Licence ("MDL") to Tackle. The grant of an MDL will
allow Tackle to retain its interests in the exploration ground and
continue to prove the Westmoreland Project mineral resource. In
return, the ILUA and Ancillary Agreement provide for the
involvement of the native title holders in the project and certain
benefits, including employment opportunities, on the project. It
also provides detailed agreed arrangements for the avoidance of
harm to Aboriginal cultural heritage.
The ILUA and Ancillary Agreement is the result of good faith
negotiations between the Tackle and GGNTAC representatives. It
represents the native title holders' free, prior and informed
consent to Tackle's ongoing exploration activities on the
Westmoreland project. The ILUA
underpins the very positive and enduring relationship between the
parties and the native title holders' strong support for the
Westmoreland Project.
The ILUA will now be lodged for registration with the National
Native Title Tribunal, to facilitate Tackle's application to the
Queensland Government for the grant of the MDL.
