Consolidated T in Mines - Wanguo International Mining Group attend
Sydney Chinese /Australian business relationship building Conference
Consolidated Tin Mines Limited (ASX: CSD) is pleased to provide an update on the partnership with Wanguo International Mining Group (Wanguo).
Wangou and CSD- Ratification of Agreements
Mr. Gao Mingqing (Executive Chairman and CEO of Wanguo) and Mr Ralph De Lacey, (Joint Executive Chairman of CSD) attended a Chinese - Australia business relationship building conference led by Mr Qiang Wei (Party Secretary of Jiangxi Provincial Committee) held in the Shangri la Hotel, Sydney, Australia on Thursday 25th June. The conference was intended to highlight the scenic beauty, tourist attraction and business opportunities of beautiful Jiangxi province China and also to showcase the fine porcelain products that Jiangxi Province is so famous for dating back to the ancient 'Silk Road' trade. The conference also encouraged developing China /Australian business relationships following President Xi Jinping's recent visit and signing of free trade agreements between China and Australia.
A delegation of business people from Jiangxi Province met with a delegation of Australian business people to formally ratify current China - Australia business relationships, particularly those relationships between Jiangxi Province business people and Australian's.
Wanguo owns the Xinzhuang Mine and mineral processing facilities within Jiangxi Province. Mr De Lacey and Mr Gao participated in this signing ceremony as a demonstration of the
commitment between both Wanguo and CSD and to ratify the existing agreements that were signed between Snow Peak Mining and Wanguo in October 2014. These agreements were transferred to CSD in January 2015 as part of the CSD acquisition of Snow Peak Mining assets, as per the 'SPM-Wanguo Farm-in Agreement' SPM ASX release on the 14th July 2014 and subsequent 'CSD Transitions from Explorer to Producer' ASX release on the 15th January
2015.
Wanguo commenced the 2015 exploration season on CSD tenements in May 2015 with a team of eight experienced technical personnel establishing a field camp on site at Einasleigh and continuing detailed geophysics and geochemical field surveys with plans to commence drilling across the Einasleigh district as well as Surveyor Tenement.
