AFRICAN COPPER (ACU)     

smiler o - 13 Mar 2007 08:10



African Copper PLC is an UK incorporated company that holds prospecting and retention licences in north eastern Botswana:
the northern Dukwe Project (covering approximately 319 km2) which contains a near production target (the Dukwe deposit) and a number of exploration areas; and

the southern Matsitama Project (covering approximately 4,000 km2) which contains a large number of prioritized exploration targets.

Two Large Project Maps


Dukwe Project Overview

The Dukwe deposit, which is contained within the Dukwe Project, has been traced by drilling and surface sampling over a total strike length of 4,370 m, of which the central 2,000 m section is currently being considered for selective underground mining. The deposit has been tested by drilling to a maximum depth of 550 m. The deposit contains near-surface supergene and transition copper resources and a substantial underlying sulphide resource. The Company intends to develop a flotation concentrator and underground access at Dukwe throughout 2007, subject to financing. Under this timetable, commericial production would be realized in early 2008 at a rate of about 44 million pounds of copper per year.

The southerly Matsitama Project is a 4,000 km2 prospective exploration area containing numerous showings of copper, lead-zinc and nickel and covering the entire Matsitama Belt. A number of strataform and stratabound sedimentary hosted copper deposits are known to occur within the belt. A large number of high amplitude geochemical anomalies also exist, but these latter targets have seen virtually no exploration. Af4rican Copper has embarked on a multi-year exploration programme in Matsitama and intends to complete a pre-feasibility study on the Thakadu/Makala copper-silver deposits in 2006.

PIM
FOR: AFRICAN COPPER PLC AIM SYMBOL: ACU February 1, 2012 African Copper Plc: Additional USD5 Million Facility Secured from ZCI LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Feb. 1, 2012) - African Copper Plc ("ACU" or "the Company") (AIM:ACU)(BOTSWANA:AFRICAN COPPER), the copper producer and exploration company focused on Botswana, announces that it has secured an additional loan of USD5 million from its controlling shareholder ZCI Limited ("ZCI"). The purpose of the new loan is to provide the Company with further working capital and to invest in its Mowana Mine facilities and operations. The new USD5 million loan from ZCI is a secured loan facility with an interest rate of 9.0%, repayable on 31 March 2013 (the "Facility"). Interest will be accrued and interest payments deferred until 31 March 2013. The terms and conditions of the Facility are on substantially similar terms to the previous term loans from ZCI. USD1 million will be invested in increasing the trucking of ore from the nearby Thakadu deposit to the Mowana facilities, USD2 million will be invested in a Larox Filter to be installed at Mowana to reduce moisture content in exported concentrate and USD2 million of the Facility will be used for general working capital purposes. Mining and processing at Mowana are making positive progress toward reaching commercial production levels and earning positive monthly cashflow. Both the Larox Filter and the increased Thakadu trucking campaign are key initiatives in the plan to become cash positive. As ZCI owns 84.19 per cent of African Copper's total issued ordinary share capital at the date of this announcement and is providing financing to the Company, the ZCI Loan falls within the definition of a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The independent directors of the Company consider, having consulted with nominated adviser Canaccord Genuity Limited, that the terms of the transactions are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned. For further information please visit www.africancopper.com. Notes to Editors: African Copper Plc is an AIM and Botswana listed copper producer and exploration company, currently focused on Botswana. The Company's flagship project is the copper producing open pit Mowana mine. ACU also owns the rights to the adjacent Thakadu-Makala deposit.
