ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The Greenland Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP) Guideline for the EIA requires that a 3 to 4 year field work program and baseline studies be carried out before the EIA work be undertaken. In compliance with this requirement, London Mining Greenland has completed the field work program and baseline studies for the Isua Project. These studies have been presented to BMP and they are available for the information of the community.
Coal Division Overview
London Mining made its first coal acquisitions in August 2008 as part of an overall strategy to develop a complimentary metallurgical coal supply for its iron ore production and in doing so take advantage of the robust long-term outlook for coal. The Company owns 100% of London Mining Colombia, a coking coal developer in Colombia.
Company Profile
London Mining is an expanding producer of high specification iron ore for the global steel industry and is focused on identifying, developing and operating sustainable mines. London Mining commenced sales from the Marampa mine in Sierra Leone in 2012 and expects to reach production capacity of 5Mtpa in 2013. A prefeasibility study was completed in 2011 which shows that Marampa has resources to support a staged expansion to over 16Mtpa. London Mining has also completed bankable feasibility studies outlining plans for a further 20Mtpa of iron ore production by developing two other mines in Greenland and Saudi Arabia. In addition London Mining is producing from a coke operation with coking coal resource potential in Colombia. The Company listed on London AIM on 6 November 2009.
Iron Ore Division Overview
London Mining has total iron ore resources of 2.2 billion tonnes with targeted production of over 30Mtpa of high grade concentrates planned from its projects in Sierra Leone, Greenland and Saudi Arabia. Our strategy is to provide a viable alternative to the diversified miners and upstream integration by selecting assets with unique competitive advantages and high margin potential in countries with a national interest in mining.
London Mining secured an option to acquire the mining rights at the Marampa mine in December 2005. After securing funding, London Mining was able to exercise the option in January 2006 and in September 2006 the Marampa mining lease was assigned to LMC, a 100% subsidiary of London Mining. The Marampa mine recommenced production in December 2011. London Mining ("London Mining" or the "Company") announces that China Global Mining Resources Limited ("CGMR"), a subsidiary of the China Global Mining Resources (BVI) Limited joint venture (“JV”) which is held 50:50 with Wits Basin Precious Minerals Inc (“Wits Basin”), has received a claim regarding the payment of the deferred consideration for the purchase of the Sudan processing plant. The claim is to be determined through arbitration. CGMR is in discussions with the sellers of the plant regarding this claim and a resolution (either by agreement of through arbitration) is expected in the next 6 months. The Sellers have no legal or commercial recourse to London Mining or any subsidiary other than the CGMR JV with respect to this claim.
Flooding are the most common form of natural disaster in the UK and are now part and parcel of the British winter months; widespread flooding happens at least once a year in the UK. Earlier this year, torrents of rain hit the UK, with Cumbria the worst-affected area; heavy, prolonged rainfall caused bridges and road networks to collapse and four people lost their lives. In 2007, Yorkshire was hit hard by floods and some people are still recovering from the destruction caused by the floods three years later; the floods killed six people and left hundreds of people homeless and thousands without electricity.
