BMR announces that it received yesterday a letter from the Mining Cadastre Department of Zambia dated 19 December 2017 terminating with immediate effect the aforementioned mining right in respect of BMR's Kabwe operation. This follows a default notice dated 24 August 2017 and received on 26 September 2017, to which BMR had officially responded.

The letter dated 19 December 2017 and received yesterday states that BMR has 30 days to exercise its right of appeal. BMR intends to exercise this right as soon as practicable.

In the meantime, trading in BMR's shares will be suspended.

Alex Borrelli, Chairman of BMR, stated: "We had understood that all mining companies in Zambia had received the default notice and we had responded accordingly. We will now pursue all avenues to rectify this situation as soon as possible and will issue a further announcement when we have further news."
