China Nonferrous Gold Limited
("CNG" or the "Company")
Consultancy Contract for the Construction of Tailing Ponds
China Nonferrous Gold Limited ?????????? (AIM: CNG), the mineral
exploration and mining company currently mining the Pakrut gold
project in the Republic of Tajikistan, is pleased to announce that
the Company has authorised its subsidiary, Kryso Resources Limited,
to enter into a new supplementary consultancy contract for the
construction of tailing ponds with China 15th Metallurgical
Construction Group Co., Ltd ("15MCC"), the former contractor of the
tailing-pond project, due to material changes to the planned
flotation tailing ponds in the construction site. China Nonferrous
Metals International Mining Co., Ltd ("CNMIM") will no longer act
as the agent for the Company regarding the contract.
As described in the "Award of Consultancy Contracts"
announcement on 2 September 2014, CNMIM was authorised, while
acting as agent for the Company, to enter into two consultancy
contracts for the Company, one of which was for the construction of
tailing ponds. It is no longer necessary for CNMIM to act as agent
for CNG as Kryso Resources Limited is familiar with the contract
and this simplification is expected to create cost and contract
performance efficiencies.
A supplementary consultancy contract between Kryso Resources
Limited and 15MCC has been entered into as the unit cost of
construction in terms of material cost, equipment cost and employee
salaries has significantly reduced in recent years. Thus, a
supplementary contact has been signed, updated with the latest
price and quantity of the construction for the tailing ponds.
The unit contract price in the supplementary contract is much
lower than the original contract mainly due falling costs of
labour, reducing from 230.48 RMB/day to 150 RMB/day, cement
reducing from 1,404 RMB/tonne to 780RMB/tonne, sand reducing from
162RMB/m3 to 140RMB/m3, gravel reducing from 125RMB/m3 to
112RMB/m3, and steel bars reducing from 7,440RMB/ton to
7270.3RMB/ton. The Company estimates the total construction cost of
the new contract to be approximately 103 RMB million (US$ 16.23
million) and the total consultancy fee is maintained as 17% of the
construction cost (approximately 17.5 RMB million (US$ 2.76
million)).
Related Party Transaction
As 15MCC is an associate of CNMIM, a substantial shareholder in
the Company and pursuant to AIM Rule 13, the entry into the
supplementary consultancy contract is deemed to be a related party
transaction. The Company's board of directors (excluding Wu Xiang,
Yu Lixian and Zhang Hao, who are appointees of CNMIM) consider,
having consulted with CNG's Nominated Adviser, Investec Bank plc,
that the terms of the supplementary consultancy contract are fair
and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of CNG are
concerned.
