KEFI Minerals Plc.
("KEFI Minerals" or the "Company")
Result of Annual General Meeting
And
Chairman's Statement
KEFI Minerals Plc., an AIM-quoted gold and copper exploration company with
projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, announces that all resolutions
proposed at the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") held earlier today at 11.00
am were duly passed by the members.
The presentation made by the Managing Director Jeff Rayner at today's AGM is
now available on the Company's website.
At the AGM today Chairman Harry Anagnostaras-Adams made the following
statement:
"Welcome to the 2012 Annual General Meeting of KEFI Minerals.
"I am Harry Anagnostaras-Adams the Chairman of KEFI Minerals and accompanying
me are Jeff Rayner the Managing Director, and Finance Director John Leach.
Deputy Chairman, Professor Ian Plimer, sends his apologies but is unable to
attend today.
"KEFI Minerals is a small, dynamic company that has demonstrated ability to
move quickly and become an early entrant in countries that are becoming
attractive for mining investment and are suitably prospective. We are excited
by the opportunities we see.
"KEFI Minerals has over the past year focused on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia -
establishing its land position, conducting early prospecting and launching
exploration. The Company also continually evaluates other regional
opportunities.
"Recently, we were pleased that the first mineral Exploration Licences in Saudi
Arabia were formally granted to the Company's Gold & Minerals ("G&M") Joint
Venture with local industrial conglomerate Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid & Sons
Company Limited ("ARTAR"). We look forward to the processing in due course of
our other 19 Exploration Licence Applications which are at various stages of
regulatory processing.
"The Company has been recognised within the industry for its professional
integrity, technical excellence and the quality of its projects. Our reputation
has been built on treating safety, the environment and community relations as a
priority at all times whilst of course excelling at exploration for economic
mineral deposits.
"One beneficial consequence is that KEFI Minerals therefore has the opportunity
to leverage its own human and financial resources by entering into tailored
strategic alliances such as the alliances with EMED Mining and with ARTAR, both
of whom provide support services to the Company, thus allowing the team to
maximize its time in the field.
"EMED Mining is based in Europe with a large well-qualified technical team
based at Rio Tinto in Spain and is owned primarily by a range of mining
industry investment specialists, from Australia, Canada, South Africa, United
States and the United Kingdom.
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an under-explored country with excellent
potential for discovery of major gold and copper mines. This morning's
announcements serve to reinforce our confidence in the merit of expanding our
program in the Kingdom. One announcement marked that members of the Al Rashid
Family who are three of the principals of ARTAR became shareholders today while
the other reported surprisingly quick and encouraging results from early stage
exploration at our newly granted exploration licences.
"Our exploration portfolio, combined with the very positive outlook for gold
and other metal prices, provide an exciting opportunity to create exceptional
value for shareholders. Lastly I would like to formally record the Board's
appreciation for the support from shareholders and for the hard work and
dedication of our management, led by Jeff Rayner - an inspiring explorer who
leads from the front."
