Happy New Year. 14th January 2009
Attached is a copy of the announcement released today concerning the allocation of the Port Turumbi portsite for the 44.5 million tonne Abu Dabbab tantalum-tin-feldspar project.
The support for the project being provided by the highest levels of the Egyptian Government is most encouraging and bodes well for the successful implementation of the Abu Dabbab project, which we are confident will become the prime focus of global tantalum production.
Following the recently announced closure of Wodgina, which was the world's largest tantalum mine, Abu Dabbab is set to fill the expected void in the supply of this strategic metal. The Abu Dabbab resource base is unrivalled and capable of supplying a major portion of the world's tantalum requirement for several decades.
