Executive Summary
Introduction
Kabanga Tin Mines is an exploration,
mining and processing project in the tin belt of Zambia.
Libra Pty Ltd of Brisbane, Australia is the “Mine
Developer” and hold 85% of its Zambian units that own
the project 100%.
Exploration on the three tin leases
indicates that the Libra tin deposits looks very
promising including eluvial ore and hard rock tin.
Initial tests show high levels of tin, tantalite and
niobium with some reefs of gold and PGM (Platinum Group
Metals).
We have recently signed an agreement
with a mining contractor for mining and processing of
our eluvial resource in Siankopo with production to
start on August/September 2008
We plan to define the eluvial ore
resource in our other 2 tenements in 2008 and bring them
into production by the end of 2008 (Kandiole) and early
2009 (Ibula)
With the rising price of tin and
increasing demand, the company is in an excellent
position to be a major contributor to the resources
industry and supply the world with tin. We are still
open for the first few who can join us developing one of
the only major tin discoveries in the world.
The company shall source the latest
technology in ore processing which will give the best
recovery of Tin and secondary metals such as Tantalite,
Niobium, Gold and Platinum. At first it can be exported
as mixed concentrate, then, later as Tin ingots of
99.85% and 99.9% purity and separate metals concentrate
such as Tantalite, Niobium, Gold and Platinum.
