East Africa forms Metals Trading Company in Tanzania to facilitate Streaming Agreement

01.06.2021 | 9:05 Uhr | CNW

VANCOUVER, June 1, 2021 - East Africa Metals Inc. (TSXV: EAM) (FSE: EA1) ("East Africa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has formed a metals trading Company under the laws of Tanzania in order to facilitate the acquisition and commercial sales of EAM's share of the gold produced from the Magambazi mine in accordance with the terms of the Sale-Purchase Agreement announced December 21, 2020 (*See Press Release).

The company, "Umoja Gold Tanzania, Ltd." (Umoja Gold"), will allow it to acquire by purchase or otherwise deal in Gold in order to have EAM receive the benefits of the Magambazi Transaction with PMM.

The Magambazi Transaction:
The transaction includes:

  1. During the lifetime of the mine respecting the Mining Assets, PMM will sell 30% of the Gold produced to EAM at the price of production cost plus 15% of production cost, pursuant to a Gold Purchase Agreement. Gold production costs means actual mining and milling costs as well as those associated with third party smelting, refining, transportation and royalties minus byproduct credits.

  2. PMM undertakes to produce at least 10,000 ounces in the first year of commissioning of operations, 20,000 ounces in the second year, 30,000 ounces in the third year and at least 40,000 ounces per year thereafter.

  3. In the event PMM does not meet the minimum production in a year, it will compensate EAM as follows: in the first year minimum production is not met PMM will pay US$200,000; US$400,000 in the second year; US$600,000 in the third year; and, US$700,000 per year for any other years' where the minimum production is not achieved.

Andrew Lee Smith, President & CEO of East Africa, commented "EAM has been informed by PMM the start-up of the tailings re-processing operations at Magambazi was initiated in May and the first small test of gold recovery was successfully completed in recent weeks. This test processing has been engaged to establish base-line data for gold recoveries and to "dial-in" processing flow-sheet to maximize recoveries from the 32,000 tonne tailings stockpile ".

"But further, the gold that has been produced by this first test is subject to the terms of the Agreement and affords the first opportunity to establish empirical protocols for the chain of custody, taxation and the commercial gold sales. It is the opportunity to establish these protocols combined with the fact mining operations have been initiated at the Magambazi mine with the 10,000 ounce first-year production target that has been the motivation for the formation of Umoja Gold at this time."
