Letter of Intent Signed on SPL 214 Concession
HALIFAX, Oct. 23, 2014 /CNW/ - Stockport Exploration is nearing completion of Phase 2 of the company's program to move to a small-scale processing operation on its SPL 214 concession. The company has finalized a letter of intent for contract mining services with Akili Mineral Services of Nairobi, Kenya. Akili will be responsible for the procurement and installation of a leach circuit and will manage day-to-day recovery operations on the concession. It is the intention of the company to build a plant to process artisanal tailings and surface quartz rubble at the SPL 214 target to fund ongoing exploration expenditures, with operations expected to begin by early 2015.
The company believes the program will be advantageous in terms of revenue generated through recovery. With equal significance, it is the intention of the company to use the surface recovery exploration data results as a tool for local geologists working at SPL 214. Jim Megann, Stockport Exploration CEO, commented, "We anticipate the recovery from the tailings and quartz rubble will demonstrate the long-term opportunity for this concession."
Procurement and commission of the recovery operation will begin immediately.
