About Akobo Minerals:
Akobo Minerals is a Norway-based gold exploration company, currently with ongoing exploration in the Akobo region in Gambela southwest Ethiopia through its wholly owned Ethiopian subsidiary Etno Mining Plc. The operations were established in 2009 by people with long experience from the public mining sector in Ethiopia and from the Norwegian oil service industry. Akobo Minerals holds an exploration license in the Akobo area and our team of geologists have worked extensively over the last 11 years to identify several potential primary gold targets. Akobo Minerals has ongoing drilling programs at its key targets Segele and Joru which so far have shown exceptionally high-grade gold results including the Segele deposit with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 78ktons at 20.9g/t. Core-drilling and trenching at Joru have intersected both high-grade gold zones and large wide low grade zones near surface.

Akobo Minerals awards Peacocke and Simpson contract for metallurgical testwork at the SEGELE project, an important step in preparation to start mining

The metallurgical testwork forms a key part of the mining preparations and involves a series of laboratory tests to determine which series of equipment will most efficiently extract the gold from the mineralisation. From one mine to another, the nature of gold deposits varies greatly in their complexity, and each deposit required the extraction equipment to be carefully selected.

A bulk sample of over 200Kg, containing abundant visible gold from 3 new drill holes, has been dispatched to specialist gold metallurgical testwork laboratory Peacocke and Simpson (Pvt) Ltd. Testwork results are expected within weeks, leading to detailed plant design.

Chief Executive Officer, Jørgen Evjen said:
“As covered in our Q2 report, the scoping study will be released in the coming weeks and such a report is typically followed by prefeasibility studies. This metallurgical testwork forms a critical part of such prefeasibility studies and hence we are accelerating our mining studies ahead of schedule. We are very positive about the results of the Scoping Study and the Prefeasibility Study is likely to give us a very solid footing on which to predict cash flow. Additionally, we are pleased with the performance of the Midroc contract drill rig and excited to see the intersections as we explore the Segele mineralisation ever deeper. It is of course always encouraging to see visible gold from the 3 test holes drilled for this purpose”

The choice to use Peacocke and Simpson is based on their long history working with similar projects throughout Africa. Peacocke and Simpson was established in 1985 in Harare, Zimbabwe where a thriving small-scale mining industry has been ongoing for many decades. The company places an emphasis on gravity recovery, a sustainable and low-cost method considered highly likely to be suitable at Segele. Peacocke and Simpson is accredited to ISO9001 (2015).

After the testwork, Akobo Minerals will advance immediately to plant design, for that purpose Peacocke and Simpson has a strong partnership with Appropriate Process Technologies (Johannesburg, South Africa). APT have provided over 200 small and medium scale plants to over 23 countries since 2007. Recent projects delivered by APT include:
• Scotgold, United Kingdom (7.5t/hr crushing, grinding, gravity plant)
• Yaron, Zimbabwe (20t/hr Combo gold plant)
• CATA, Tanzania (40t/hr, Tritank CIL)

Akobo Minerals applies for a large scale gold mining license

Akobo Minerals applies for a large scale gold mining license

Akobo Minerals has today applied for a large scale gold mining license. After more than 10 years of exploration work, an application was submitted in close dialogue with the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum. Ongoing successful drilling and a high-grade mineral resource from Segele supports our view that mining will be an important and integral part of the company’s future.
…

Vis børsmeldingen

The Minister of Mines, Takele Uma said:
“We are cooperating with Etno Mining/Akobo Minerals to finalize the mining license next week, the first week of the Ethiopian New year. Etno Mining has worked relentlessly since the beginning of its exploration activities.”

The mining license area applied for covers a large part of the existing exploration license. A large scale mining license is normally granted for an initial period of 20 years, then for an additional 10 years. With grant of the mining license we will secure a long term operation for the next 20 years and the opportunity to continue exploration work as we start preparations for mining operations. Typically mining licences include obligations on the company to pay royalties, taxes, support local communities and undertake ESG programmes – all of which are already within the company plan.

Chief Executive Officer, Jørgen Evjen said:
“Today we have submitted our mining license application to the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum - another milestone for Akobo Minerals. We are still an exploration company, but we create flexibility and options for ourselves with applying for a mining license. We still believe that Akobo Minerals will be a leading player in the Ethiopian mining sector for many years to come, and that we are about to open up a new region for exploration and mining in Ethiopia. Key economic metrics of mining operations at Segele will be released shortly from our scoping study. ”

Even though the application is for large scale mining, the current plan to use small scale mining techniques is still valid. A large scale mining license provides more flexibility in yearly tonnage mined, and the length of the mining license period is double that to a small scale mining license.

Akobo Minerals completes its Segele scoping study

Very favorable project economics and low production cost anticipated

Akobo Minerals continues to deliver on its timetable and promises. After 10 years of exploration work culminating in a JORC compliant Maiden Resource Estimate earlier this year, followed recently by grant of a large scale gold mining license, we now release our scoping study for the Segele deposit. The results are very encouraging and exceeds previous expectations;
…

Vis børsmeldingen

• Key contributions from highly respected 3rd parties and peer reviewed by SRK
• Estimate of 243 USD per ounce for all in sustaining cost (AISC) vs 1.048 USD per ounce as mining industry average
• The estimated limited capital expenditure and very low production cost will lead to Segele becoming an exceptionally high margin operation
• Current mine plant can double capacity over time as more resources are discovered or extend the life of mine
• Expected mining operations to commence end 2022

The scoping study indicates what the potential economics of mining the Segele deposit can look like. The study has been completed with contributions from highly respected geologists, engineers and ESG practitioners (SRK Consulting, Sazani Associates, Goshawk Network Technologies and Borrego Sun).

The result confirms that the mineralization at Segele can be mined and processed with an estimated All In Sustaining Cost (“AISC”) of 243 USD per ounce, while the total life of mine operational expenditure, excluding royalties, is estimated at 137 USD per ounce. Total capital expenditure for setting up the mine plant to start production is estimated at 8 million USD, equaling an average of 153 USD per ounce for the current resource estimate of 52.410 ounces. This average will go down as more resources are added over time.

Akobo Minerals is planning to mine the gold mineralisation using methods such as shrinkage stoping or similar. These rocks will be brought to surface using an incline shaft that will take 11 months to build. At peak production, just under 6,000 tonnes of rock per month will be mined and this material will be passed into an industry standard crushing and gravity circuit, with cyanidation where necessary. The company plans to purchase a plant capable of processing 20 tonnes per hour, but operated at 10 tonnes per hour initially – allowing for expansion. The plant is expected to extract 90% of all gold in the mineralization, this will be confirmed by the ongoing metallurgical testwork (see press release 30th August 2021).

The scoping study has focused only on the mineralization covered in the SRK mineral resource estimate (6th April 2021) allowing for an anticipated mine life of 27 months. Ongoing exploration has identified additional mineralization at depth which leaves open the opportunity to extend mine life.

As with all anticipated underground mining operations, not all ore can be mined or exploited and as such the scoping study estimates an extraction percentage 81%, the grade will be diluted by 5% and ore loss is expected to be 8%. These figures are in-line with or better than industry standards.

A sustainable natural resources management plan is planned alongside mining. Such a plan may allow Akobo Minerals to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The scoping study is the first phase in the process of developing a business plan for mining at Segele and has an accuracy of between 30 to 50%. Akobo Minerals has already begun a Prefeasibility study which typically has an accuracy of +/- 25%. The Prefeasibility study will involve a resource upgrade, selection of mining method, detailed plant design and it allows for publication of cash flow models and ore reserves.

•Will assess and predict the environmental and social impacts of the Segele Mine and recommend suitable mitigation measures
•Is a vital building block for the Sustainable Natural Resource Management Plan (“SNRMP”) which is currently being prepared by Sazani Associates
•Will indicate the potential to undertake a clean mining operation, and leave the host communities with sustainable long-term income

The first four specialists to arrive in camp will study water resources, cultural heritage, air and noise considerations. In the coming weeks, primary data collection and baseline studies will be completed for social and environment considerations. The ESIA will be submitted for approval to The Environment, Forest and Climate Change Commission in December 2021.

The ESIA is a vital building block for the Sustainable Natural Resource Management Plan (“SNRMP”) which is currently being prepared by Sazani Associates. Based on the data collected by TS Environment, Sazani associates will finalise the planning process and the development phase of a payment for ecosystems services project scheduled to start in Q1 2022.

With the mitigation measures from the ESIA and the SNRMP, Akobo Minerals believes that it will not only undertake a clean mining operation, but also at some point leave the host communities with a sustainable long-term income.

TS Environment has undertaken over 50 ESIA studies and assignments according to international best practice requirements including: IFC PS and EHS Guidelines, World Bank EHS Guidelines and Operational Policies. Notable projects have been completed for SRK Consulting and Wardell Armstrong International (for MIDROC Ethiopia), Yara Dallol, Ascom Mining (now Allied Gold), Adola Gold Mine and Africa Oil Ethiopia (The Lundin Group).
