KEFI Gold and Copper’s Post

KEFI Gold and Copper PLC (AIM:KEFI, OTC:KFFLF) executive chairman Harry Anagnostaras-Adams tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that "the stars are aligning" as gold continues to reach record highs as the company prepares to trigger production at its Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia. Gold at around $2,400 per ounce aligns perfectly with KEFI's plans to commence construction. This historic high in gold prices is expected to greatly enhance the company's net cash flow, with projections reaching around $90 million after expenses, Harry Anagnostaras-Adams said. In Ethiopia, where production is expected to start within two years, the impact is most immediate and substantial, enhancing project economics significantly. Its Saudi Arabian projects, while further behind, are expected to see similar benefits in the longer term. Watch at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors #kefigoldandcopper http://ow.ly/ltEt105pgmW

Pakistan plans to sell a 15% stake in the Reko Diq project to Saudi Arabia after Barrick Gold Corporation declined to increase its share. This move reduces Pakistan's overall shares from 50% to 35%, while Balochistan's stake remains at 25%. Consequently, the federal government's share will drop from 25% to 10%, making Pakistan a minority shareholder in the project. Officials are confident that being a minority shareholder will not pose significant challenges, based on Pakistan's previous joint venture experiences. Existing clauses in the agreement prevent Barrick Gold from making significant decisions unilaterally, thereby providing Pakistan with considerable leverage. Saudi Arabia's involvement is anticipated to enhance Pakistan's investment climate amid declining investment ratios. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia aims to increase its stakes in more Reko Diq blocks, signaling robust interest in the project. A formal announcement regarding the stake sale is expected soon, following the completion of a valuation report. The signing of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is deemed crucial, as it provides arbitration rights. Pakistan has also accepted recourse to international forums in case of investment disputes. Negotiations with Saudi Arabia have progressed well, indicating a positive outcome.

Moving on to the industrial landscape of Saudi Arabia, Director Sean Teo now brings us into the Copper industry and its opportunities for growth in future. As global demand for copper intensifies, fueled by the green energy revolution and technological innovations, Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a pivotal player in the industry. The kingdom's rich copper reserves and strategic focus on sustainable mining are attracting significant foreign direct investment (FDI), forging powerful global partnerships. Under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia is not only meeting the rising copper demand but also positioning itself as a key hub in the global supply chain. With increasing FDI and international collaborations, the kingdom is set to play a crucial role in powering the future of global infrastructure and technology.

--Company Update-- GOLDPLAT PLC announces operational update for Q2 ended 31 December 2023 Ghana experienced an exceptional Q2, achieving an operating profit of GBP1,820,000 (GBP1,026,000 Q2 2023), driven by strong supplies during the first half of the current financial year and the sale of inventory that built up as a result of our inability to export whilst our export license was finalised during the 2nd half of the previous financial period. Werner Klingenberg, CEO of Goldplat commented: "This was a bitter-sweet quarter with good results in Ghana alongside losses on estimated gold receivable in South Africa. I'm confident that the team has implemented the necessary controls to eliminate these losses going forward. Ghana continues to benefit from engagements and marketing efforts over the last 5 years and we aim to build on the momentum into Africa and South America. The requirements and approval of the water use license for installation of pipeline to DRD Gold remain a major focus for the Group, whilst we continue to strengthen our relationships, increase market share in a declining gold market in South Africa and leverage our strength and capabilities through partnership into other precious metals and commodities."
