Cobalt/Copper Joint Venture - Congo

19 December 2018

Further to the announcement of 22 November 2018, Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource development company with interests in gold, manganese and oil production, announces developments in relation to its joint venture agreement announced on 26 September 2017 for the development of cobalt and copper assets (the "Project") in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Payment of the £490,000 tranche of the consideration for its copper-cobalt joint venture interest has now been made.

The joint venture parties have organised a local company, Musonoi Mining SA, to be owned 50.1% by Red Rock and to hold the joint venture interests of the parties.

The vendors have been issued 70,000,000 Red Rock shares at 0.7 pence a share with attached 1-for-1 three year warrants to subscribe for new shares at an exercise price of 1p per share, as settlement of the £490,000 tranche of consideration.

A further $250,000 payment will be made upon completion of remaining documentation, which is expected early in the New Year.

A report and plan is scheduled to be submitted to local partner La Générale des Carrières et des Mines ("Gécamines") by the end of the year, and the Company has been preparing this, collating a large quantity of historic data and working with its consultant geologists Minex Consulting SA to ensure timely submission.   

Andrew Bell, Chairman of Red Rock, comments: "We are forming a very positive impression of the potential from the data we are assembling and look forward to providing the market with further detailed information on our targets and intentions, in particular for early mobilisation on to the Musonoi license."
