Notes to editors:
Alecto Minerals plc is an African focussed, gold and base metal
exploration and development company quoted on AIM with exploration
projects in Mali, Ethiopia and Mauritania. The on-going development
of the Kossanto Gold Project in Mali is the Company's predominant
operational focus and with significant value upside potential
evident across the tenure, the Board plans to build on its current
independent inferred resource estimate of 6.72Mt grading at 1.14g/t
Au for an aggregate of 247,000 oz Au with a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t
Au for the Gourbassi target reported in accordance with the
guidelines of the JORC Code (2012).
Alecto also has a joint venture with Centamin plc over two
prospective gold exploration licences in Ethiopia which sees Alecto
retain exposure to the assets with no capital expenditure
obligations, as well as the wholly owned Wad Amour IOCG Project in
Mauritania which is at an exploration stage. Combined, these
projects provide the Company with a strong, diversified portfolio
with exciting exploration upside potential.
