Western Areas Executes Strategic Alliance Agreement With Jinchuan

19.02.2013  |  Marketwired
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

PERTH, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire - Feb. 19, 2013) - Western Areas Ltd (ASX:WSA), ("Company") is pleased to announce that it has executed a non-binding Strategic Alliance Deed (the Alliance) with Jinchuan Group Ltd (Jinchuan).

The Alliance was established for the purpose of cooperating in the consideration and possible development of global mining opportunities involving the exploration, development and operation of base metal projects. Establishment of the Alliance will allow Western Areas and Jinchuan to beneficially share assessment and due diligence costs on future evaluation of projects of mutual interest.

Western Areas Managing Director, Mr Daniel Lougher, said that the Company was very excited about reaching an agreement with China's largest nickel company and a significant producer of other metals, including copper.

"We have been in partnership with Jinchuan through a very successful nickel concentrate offtake agreement for over three years now. Both companies agree that a logical extension of the relationship should be to assessing global base metal opportunities where this makes sense."

"With this style of Alliance, both partners bring different skills and strengths to the table. With Jinchuan, there is a globally significant base metals producer with substantial balance sheet strength, coupled with a long and proud history. Western Areas has proven its ability to explore for base metals, execute feasibility studies, develop and operate successful projects. Therefore we believe our relative strengths meld well."

Formation of the alliance will not entail any upfront contributions, with future contributions limited to the sharing of agreed assessment and due diligence costs. The Alliance is a non-exclusive arrangement.
