MOU signed with Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée for Gaoual Bauxite Project

04.09.2023  |  PR Newswire
  • Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG) is a mining company 49% owned by the Guinean State with the balance held by US-registered Halco Mining Inc, a consortium comprising Rio Tinto-Alcan, Alcoa and Dadco Investments
  • CBG is one of the largest single producers of bauxite in the world with operations focused in Guinea
  • MOU provides the framework for Lindian to supply bauxite from its Gaoual bauxite project to CBG's annual bauxite production and developing a sales contract between the parties
  • Under the terms of the MOU, Lindian has committed to completing a Feasibility Study on Gaoual with the study meeting CBG's criteria and the environmental and social standards to which CBG is bound
  • Gaoual has a JORC 2012 Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 102Mt with a high-grade tonnage of 84Mt at 51.2% Al2O3[1] . Screening test work completed in 2021 confirmed that Gaoual high grade samples showed the average alumina grade increasing by 8.6% (53.8% Al2O3 to 58.4% Al2O3) and the average silica grade decreasing by 71.4% (9.8% SiO2 to 2.8% SiO2)[1]

Lindian's Executive Chairman Asimwe Kabunga said: "We are delighted to be collaborating with CBG to advance Gaoual. They have exceptional pedigree as one of the world's most respected and largest bauxite producers and suppliers. We have been advancing discussions with them for a number of years on the potential development of Guinea's next Conglomerate Bauxite project and this MOU marks a very meaningful step in this process. As one of Guinea's most established bauxite producers with extensive mining operations and infrastructure access, a potential partnership delivers obvious benefits to all stakeholders, most importantly the local community and the government of Guinea. The MOU provides an excellent framework to rapidly advance Gaoual."

SYDNEY, Sept. 3, 2023 - Lindian Resources Ltd. (ASX:LIN) ("Lindian" or "the Company") is pleased to confirm that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ('MOU') with Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG), to explore the supply of bauxite from its Gaoual project to add to CBG's annual bauxite production through a possible sales contract between the Parties. The MOU provides the framework for the parties to:

  • Explore various methods of operating, processing and transporting ore from the Gaoual project to CBG's infrastructure;
  • Assess procurement, quantity/quality determination, selling prices, selling price adjustment mechanisms, penalties/bonuses and payments between the Parties;
  • Complete a Feasibility Study for the Gaoual project within two years that meets CBG's JORC criteria for the publication of reserves and resources (including certain drilling density, bauxite density and does not contain any element harmful to a subsequent metallurgical process); and
  • The Parties will also negotiate in good faith a possible contract for the sale of bauxite within two years from the start date of this MOU.

Lindian also commits during its Feasibility Study, commissioning and operation phases to meet the requirements of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Standard and also the International Finance Corporation performance standards of which CBG is bound. Lindian looks forward to working with CBG to advance this unique opportunity and to unlocking Gaoual's considerable value.
