Extension to Achmmach Option Agreement
On May 27 Kasbah announced that Madame Amina Benkhadra, the Minister for Energy and Mines, Water and the Environment had approved an extension to the Memorandum of Agreement between ONHYM and Kasbah for the Achmmach Tin Project in Morocco.
With this extension, the deadline for completion of a Feasibility Study on the Achmmach Tin Project now becomes June 2011.
Under this agreement and on completion and submission of a Feasibility Study to ONHYM (the Office National des Hydrocarbures et Des Mines) Kasbah can exercise its exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Achmmach Tin Project, in the El Hajeb region of Morocco. The agreement also has provision for Kasbah, at its election, to utilise a further 12 months from June 2011 to optimise the study if required.
On exercise of the option ONHYM will transfer the Achmmach mining permits to Kasbah in return for payments of US$1M on transfer and thereafter, annual payments of US$1M for 4 years. The total transfer price is US$5M plus a 3% net smelter royalty.
