Pursuant to these agreements, Lake Resources surrendered its three exploration licences in Balochistan, effective 6 May 2015, conditional upon new exploration licences covering the same areas as the surrendered licences being granted to the Pakistan-incorporated operating entity, Chagai Resources (Pvte.) Limited. Subsequently, new exploration licences were granted to Chagai Resources for a period of 3 years, effective 12 June 2015. The licence documents specify that the company will “…sign an agreement with Government of Balochistan regarding participation/entry of the Government of Balochistan in the said licence/project with 12.5% share on 100% discount i.e. without any investment or 25% share with investment in accordance with the Latest Policy of the Government.” The new Amalaf licence (EL 143), with an area of 46.75 km2, adjoins the northern boundary of the Saindak copper-goldmine. The exploration target is large tonnage, low grade copper amenable to lowcost open-pit mining. The Dasht-i-Gauran licence (EL 144), with an area of 29.10 km2, is situated to the west of copper mineralisation reported by Tethyan Copper Company (TCC) from drilling at its Sor Baroot Prospect at the Reko Diq Project, and covers a number of possible alteration zones identified from interpretation of satellite images. The Koh-i-Sultan licence (EL 145), with an area of 85.12 km2, is centred on an extensive system of intensely altered breccia and volcanics over an area of more than five square kilometres on the margin of an extinct volcanic caldera. Limited drilling by Lake Resources has encountered significant copper and gold values associated with porphyry copper-type mineralization. Both Lake Resources and CRME are pleased with the opportunity offered by this agreement and look forward to resumption of exploration activities on the new exploration license areas. J.G.
