Goldplat plc is an AIM-listed gold producer with operations in Africa. Its
strategy is to consolidate its position as a gold producer in Africa and build
itself into a mid-tier gold company.
The Company has two recovery businesses based in South Africa and Ghana, which,
by safely disposing mining by-products, fulfil an important aspect of the mines'
environmental management programmes. The South African plant is located near
the centre of the East Rand Goldfield and raw material feedstocks are sourced
from many of the major South African mining companies, including AngloGold
Ashanti, Goldfields, Harmony, DRD Gold and other smaller producers. The Ghana
plant, located in the free port of Tema, provides access to raw materials from
mines in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Benin, Cote D'Ivore, Senegal, the DRC and
Mauritania, as well as Ghana.
Goldplat's strategy is to build itself into a mid-tier gold producer, through
the acquisition of known deposits with targets of between 200,000 and one
million contained ounces. Kilimapesa Gold is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Goldplat and is developing the potential of the 213 sq km Lolgorien licence area
located in the historically producing Migori Archaean Greenstone Belt in western
Kenya. Kilimapesa Gold commenced initial production in January 2009 and an
aggressive exploration and development programme resulted in a maiden JORC
compliant resource being reported in October 2009.
Goldplat also has an option over the 246 sq km Nyieme Gold Project located in
Burkina Faso, which includes known high-grade quartz vein structures, with drill
core results showing up to 17.83 g/t gold over one metre and 11.67 g/t over
five metres. A maiden resource was announced in December 2010 of 685,000 tonnes
at 2.61 g/t Au for 57,501oz Au at a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t Au for all
categories and an exploration programme is currently in progress which is
intended to increase this resource.
Additionally, the Company has acquired the Banka Mining Lease, a ten year
renewable mining lease for gold and associated minerals covering an area of 29
sq km located in the Amansie East and Asante Akim South Districts of the Ashanti
Region of the Republic of Ghana. The Company is now implementing a defined
development plan with a view to proving a JORC compliant resource.
