About Base Resources
Base Resources Limited (ASX:BSE AIM:BSE) is developing the world-class Kwale
Mineral Sands Project in Kenya, East Africa. Kwale is an advanced and highly
competitive project in a sector with a significant forecast supply shortfall
widely expected to emerge in the medium term.
The Kwale Project represents an advanced development opportunity with all
material project approvals, permits and licenses required for development
secured, funding in place and construction of all project elements underway.
The Project enjoys a high level of support from the Government of Kenya as well
as the local community and, located just 50km from Mombasa, Kenya's principal
port facility, is well serviced by existing physical infrastructure.
Importantly, two pilot plant operations at Kwale provide confidence in
processing behaviour and indicate a suite of readily marketable products. The
Project's high value mineral assemblage and low stripping ratio result in a
projected revenue to cash cost ratio that would place Kwale in the top quartile
of world producers.
A realistic development time line should see the Kwale Project in production in
the second half of 2013.
