It is important to understand that the decision to withdraw from the project was not based on the geological prospectivity of the project.
A number of Indonesian groups expressed interest in the KSK CoW during 2013. The Board will now make contact with these parties and others to discuss possible partnerships and ways forward.
Freeport funded over $33 million of exploration expenditures since April 2011 on the KSK CoW, leaving the Company with a wealth of exploration data and multiple drill targets. During their involvement, over 30,000m of drilling was completed, over 28,000 samples were analyzed, 4,762 line kilometers of airborne geophysical surveys were completed, and 24,363 ha of the KSK was covered with a high resolution Lidar imaging survey. A drill plan had been prepared to expand the identified zone of mineralization at Beruang Kanan where the two most recent drill holes, BK57 and BK58, both intersected significant mineralization (refer Press Release dated 22 August 2013).
Since September 2013, data compilation, resampling of historical core samples, petrographic studies, age dating and follow-up mapping and sampling at Mansur, Baroi, and Tumbang Huoi has identified several well defined deep potential copper porphyry drill targets.
Faldi Ismail, CEO, commented, "Freeport has been a magnificent joint venture partner which has hugely developed our understanding and significantly enhanced the prospectivity of the KSK CoW. We remain optimistic that a new partner will be found to complete the project and will shortly recommence discussions with those interested parties."
All data, as disclosed in this press release, has been reviewed and verified by the Company's Qualified Person for the KSK project, Dr. Peter Pollard, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (Chartered Professional). Dr Pollard is a director and the Chairman of KLG. He acts as a technical consultant to KLG and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and types of deposits under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a Qualified Person under NI43-101.
