Stans and Atomredmetzoloto JSC Evaluate Partnership for Zavitinskoye Lithium Mine Redevelopment
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTC: HREEF), ("Stans" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company and Atomredmetzoloto JSC (“ARMZ”) are evaluating the potential for a partnership for the redevelopment of the Zavitinskoye Lithium Mine in Trans-Baikal region, Russian Federation.
Stans has made previous announcements regarding Binding Memorandum of Understanding (“BMOU”) with Pervomayskiy GOK LLC (“PGOK”) and Memorandum of Understanding with ARMZ for the joint development of the Pervomayskiy Lithium Stockpile. After further evaluation by both Stans and ARMZ it has become evident that the best course of action for the development of a lithium production program would require the evaluation of the restart of the Zavitinskoye Lithium mine operations.
Certain technical and legal issues have surfaced that preclude both Stans and ARMZ from conducting the necessary geological sampling to evaluate the Pervomayskiy Lithium Stockpile. In place of this program, ARMZ will commence an internal scoping study on the Zavitinskoye Lithium mine, which was the historic source of mineralized material for the Pervomayskiy cut-off grade lithium mineralization stockpile. ARMZ is expecting to complete the Scoping Study by March 2018 and has set aside an internal budget to complete this work program.
Upon the completion of the ARMZ internal Scoping Study, Stans and ARMZ will enter into a joint project development program and partnership arrangement. The value of including the infrastructure assets of PGOK in Stans and ARMZ development program of the Zavitinskoye Lithium Project will be reexamined upon the completion of the ARMZ internal scoping study.
Please see July 24, 2017 press release regarding the MOU with ARMZ.
