Perth, Mar 2, 2020 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Blackham Resources Limited ( ASX:BLK) ( FRA:NZ3) ( OTCMKTS:BKHRF) ("Blackham", "Seller"), and Trafigura Pte. Ltd. ("Buyer) have executed a sales contract for Trafigura to purchase Gold Concentrate from Blackham's Stage 1 Expansion project (see ASX release dated 23rd December 2019).
The contract shall be effective from the start of Blackham's gold concentrates production anticipated in Q3FY21, for a period of 3 years, and following that shall be renewed on an evergreen basis with 12 months' notice exercisable by either party. The minimum quantity to be delivered under the contract is 52,500 t of Gold Concentrate. The terms that have been agreed are aligned with the financial model that Blackham has developed for the Stage 1 Expansion Project.
Trafigura's global non-ferrous concentrate trading book, which is in excess of 10 M tonnes per annum, together with its global blending facilities which service a variety of markets render Trafigura an ideal partner for Blackham.
Blackham Executive Chairman Milan Jerkovic commented "Reaching agreement for the sale of a significant proportion of Stage 1 gold concentrate production is an important milestone for Blackham. Reaching that agreement with a global counterparty such as Trafigura provides certainty in the sale potential of the Wiluna gold concentrates. We look forward to developing a sustainable long-term operation based on the production of gold concentrates with partners that consider operational sustainability as a crucial element of conducting business."
