Geovic Mining Corp.: Update on Status of Nkamouna Feasibility Study

Geovic Mining Corp (TSX:GMC)(OTCBB:GVCM), on behalf of its 60.5%-owned subsidiary Geovic Cameroon PLC, announces the current status of the Feasibility Study for its Nkamouna Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese Project (the "Project") in Cameroon, Africa.

Through December 2010, the following observations and conclusions have been made:

  • The process of updating the Feasibility Study has revealed significantly higher Project capital costs. Geovic's third quarter 2010 10-Q disclosed that initial capital costs plus working capital would be at least $100 million higher than the $417 million combined estimate from the previous Feasibility Study, dated September 2008. The Company now anticipates total initial capital costs plus working capital to be closer to $600-$650 million (including estimated contingencies), not including construction of a process refinery which, if needed, is estimated to cost at least an additional $150 million.
  • Discussions with potential offtake partners, nearly all located in the Far East, have yielded a high level of interest in purchasing intermediate cobalt/nickel mixed sulfide precipitate, or MSP, a product that would not require construction of a refinery. Consequently, deferral of the refinery (for converting MSP to finished cobalt and nickel products) is being considered by the Geovic Cameroon shareholders and Board of Directors, a decision that will be made in the coming months.
  • The Company is evaluating several opportunities to improve Project economics, and will actively pursue all such avenues immediately, with the Feasibility Study projected to be finalized by the end of April 2011. The Feasibility Study will address all aspects of Project economics, and is intended to establish Project viability.

Geovic Mining Background

Geovic is a U.S.-based corporation whose principal asset is 60.5% indirect ownership of a significant cobalt-nickel-manganese deposit in the Republic of Cameroon, Africa.
