BMR intends to exercise this right as soon as practicable. \nLeon, Chief Executive Officer, says: \"This announcement was totally unexpected and Jubilee was not made aware of any potential challenge to the mining right.\nWe are doing all things necessary to assist BMR to resolve this matter timeously and favourably. In this regard we have made contact with the mining ministry of Zambia to arrange an urgent discussion to clarify the reasons for such a notification and its impact on the Kabwe project. \nJubilee will also use this opportunity to provide the Zambian Mining Cadastre Department with confirmation of Jubilee's commitment to BMR, for the immediate execution of the Kabwe project. \nJubilee will provide further clarity on the Kabwe project and the expected execution program following this discussion.\"\nIn the meantime, trading in BMR's shares have been suspended at BMR's request.\nAlex Borrelli, Chairman of BMR, stated: \"We had understood that all mining companies in Zambia had received the default notice and we had responded accordingly. We will now pursue all avenues to rectify this situation as soon as possible and will issue a further announcement when we have further news.\"\nJubilee has invested in a joint venture with BMR for the development of the Kabwe project and has a 29.01% interest in the issued share capital of BMR. \n \nFurther updates will be provided as appropriate.\nUnited Kingdom\n7 February 2018\nContacts\nJubilee Metals Group PLC\nColin Bird/Leon Coetzer\nTel +44 (0) 20 7584 2155 / Tel +27 (0) 11 465 1913\nAndrew Sarosi\nTel +44 (0) 1752 221937\nNominated Advis...
