Notes to Editors
African Minerals is developing the wholly owned Tonkolili iron ore project in Sierra Leone, with a JORC compliant resource of 12.8Bnt. The project, which currently has a 60+ year mine-life, is being developed in 3 phases. Phase I of the project is fully funded and at full capacity is expected to produce 12 million tonnes of iron ore per annum once it ramps up from initial production, expected in Q4 2011. Phases II and III are expected to boost production incrementally by 23Mtpa and 45Mtpa respectively. African Minerals and its contractors currently employ approximately 5,000 people in Sierra Leone, 78% of whom are Sierra Leonean nationals.
The Company is also developing significant port and rail infrastructure to support the development of the project, via African Rail and Port Services ("ARPS"), with the Government of Sierra Leone as 10% partners.
African Minerals is registered in Bermuda and is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
