West Wits Mining Secures ZAR300 Million for Qala Shallows Project in South Africa

West Wits Mining (ASX: WWI), a leading mining company, has announced that the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa (IDC) has expressed interest in providing a debt facility of ZAR300 million (approx. US$15. 9 million) for development capital at West Wits' Qala Shallows project. This endorsement by the IDC highlights the immense potential of the Witwatersrand Basin Project (WBP) and showcases confidence in the Qala Shallows endeavour.

Advancements in the Witwatersrand Basin Project

The WBP has seen significant progress during the reporting period of 1 April to 30 June 2023. The notable highlights include:

1. Qala Shallows' Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) Update

The study will incorporate new information gained from underground survey works, mine plan optimisations, and updated market assumptions. This update will provide valuable insights into the potential and viability of the project.

2. Environmental Authorisation Approval

The company has received environmental authorisation approval from South Africa's Department of Mineral Resources & Energy (DMRE) for the Prospecting Right (PR) application. This approval further solidifies West Wits' commitment to responsible mining practices and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Progress at Mt Cecelia Project

In addition to the developments at the WBP, West Wits Mining has made significant strides at the Mt Cecelia Project. Rio Tinto Exploration (Pty) Limited (RTX) has advanced the 2023 Exploration Program at the primary target, SGC_13. This progress demonstrates the collaborative efforts and commitment of the company towards exploration and discovery of valuable resources.

Strengthening Management and Board

West Wits Mining also made strategic leadership appointments and implemented a restructuring plan to strengthen its management and board. These moves demonstrate the company's dedication to effective governance and positioning itself for future growth and success.

The quarterly report showcases West Wits Mining's commitment to advancing its projects and pursuing opportunities for resource development in South Africa. The proposed funding from the IDC for the Qala Shallows project will provide the necessary capital for development plans outlined in the updated DFS. The company anticipates revenue generation from gold production within five months of commencement, further contributing to its growth and success.
