ACID MINE DRAINAGE
|
Central Rand Gold notes the statement issued on 16 October 2012 by the South African Department of Water Affairs which confirms that the Trans Caledon Tunnel Authority ("TCTA") is authorised to finalise the awarding of the contract for the construction of the infrastructure required for the interim Central Basin Acid Mine Drainage solution. This authorisation allows the TCTA to conclude and sign the necessary agreements with relevant mining houses in order to implement such mandate.
Central Rand Gold will now engage further with TCTA in order to ascertain the probable timeline within which such agreements, which include the water pump donation agreement, may be expected to be executed.
The Company will inform shareholders once the abovementioned agreement has been agreed and signed with the TCTA.
