Legal update - Zindico Consortium
Asa Resource announced on 12 January 2017 that Freda Rebecca
Gold Mine, in which the Company has an 85% interest, had been
served with a claim in the High Court of Zimbabwe.
Subsequent to the above, the claim has been brought by Zindico
Consortium ("Zindico") in the High Court of Zimbabwe against Asa
Resource Group Plc, Mwana Africa (Mauritius), Freda Rebecca
Holdings, National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Board
(NIEEB), and the Ministry of Youth Development Indigenisation and
Economic Empowerment. The claim seeks to compel all the
respondents, jointly and severally, to indigenise Freda Rebecca
Gold Mine. Having taken legal advice, the Group does not believe
that there is any merit to the claim and we have instructed our
legal team in Zimbabwe to file opposing papers.
The mining operations at Freda Rebecca will continue as normal
and the Board does not expect any disruption as a result of the
claim.
