Mr. Simon Lill reports:
West Perth, WA / January 30, 2018 / JMN Wire / De Grey Mining Limited (ASX: DEG) ("De Grey", "DEG", "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has decided to proceed to acquire all the shares in Indee Gold Pty Ltd ("Indee Gold") from Northwest Non-Ferrous Australian Mining Pty Ltd ("NNAM").
This decision to proceed with the acquisition of Indee Gold is integral to the consolidation of the overall Pilbara Gold Project ownership. On settlement, De Grey will own 100% of the tenement package which contains greater than 1.2M oz of established gold resources.
De Grey Chairman, Simon Lill, commented that:
"De Grey has expended considerable funds in exploration and feasibility work over the last 12 months on the Indee Project to confirm that the metrics of the Indee acquisition make sense. We are comfortable that acquiring Indee is the right path forward as the economic decision will only improve with further work planned through the next 12 months. The Indee and Turner River Projects combine as the Pilbara Gold Project with positive economics based on a simple open pit mining strategy, but with substantial exploration upside remaining. We thank Northwest for their ongoing support."
