Rambler Metals signs first copper off-take agreement for Ming mine
This is Rambler’s first off-take agreement and ensures that all of Rambler's copper concentrate will be sold at international market rates
Rambler Metals and Mining (LON:RMM, CVE:RAB) has signed an off-take agreement for its copper concentrate production from the Ming copper-gold mine with Transamine Trading.
This is Rambler’s first off-take agreement and ensures that all of Rambler's copper concentrate will be sold at international market rates.
This is a further milestone in the development of the operation on Newfoundland and Labrador's Baie Verte Peninsula, Canada, following the first gold pour there in mid-December 2010. Revenues from gold sales are expected to start coming in early this year.
It also announced the completion of the copper concentrator plant.
The agreement announced today will see the sale of 85,000 tonnes of copper concentrate from the Ming mine to Transamine over an initial six year period and includes a provisional payment for concentrate as it arrives at the Goodyear's Cove port facility.
This is of particular importance to Rambler as it will ensure steady cash flow to the company as soon as concentrate production begins in the second quarter of 2012, it said in a statement.
President and chief executive George Ogilvie said: “In the coming months, once concentrate production begins, the first ore to be mined will be from the high grade 1807 Zone. With a measured and indicated resource of 432,000 tonnes grading 3.86 percent copper, 1.75 grammes per tonne gold and 7.18 g/t silver, concentrate produced from this zone will greatly assist Rambler's immediate cash flow.”

It is a full service company providing worldwide raw material sourcing, marketing, finance and investment.
