Update Regarding Proposed Downstream Offer for Extract Resources
January 11, 2012: Extract Resources Ltd (ASX/TSX/NSX: EXT) (“Extract” or the
“Company”) has been informed that the Namibian Competition Commission (“NCC”) has
approved without conditions the possible acquisition of control of Extract by Taurus
Mineral Limited (“Taurus”), an entity owned by CGNPC Uranium Resources Co., Ltd.
(“CGNPC-URC”) and the China-Africa Development Fund (“CADFund”).
NCC consent to the possible change of control of Extract is a condition of the Taurus offer
to Kalahari shareholders (the “Kalahari Offer”), as set out in the offer document posted to
Kalahari shareholders on January 5, 2012.
Taurus has been granted relief by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
(“ASIC”) to acquire an interest of more than 20% of Extract’s shares provided that, among
other conditions, Taurus makes a downstream offer for Extract (the “Proposed Extract
Offer”). Taurus is required to dispatch offer documentation to Extract shareholders within
four weeks of Taurus having received acceptances of the Kalahari Offer in respect of
more than 50% of the voting rights in Kalahari. The Proposed Extract Offer will only be
conditional upon Taurus becoming unconditionally entitled to shares carrying more than
50% of the voting rights in Kalahari, and standard prescribed occurrences as set out in the
Corporations Act not having occurred.
Extract’s Independent Directors are continuing to review all available opportunities to
maximise shareholder value, and intend to make a recommendation in relation to the
Proposed Extract Offer if and when such an offer is made.

If you have read my earlier posts re GGG you’ll know that once GGG comes on line the world’s Rare Earths and in particular the Heavy Rare Earths future supply characteristics will be changed from deficit to surplus. (Market cap $220m)

Today’s announcement by GGG:

“Greenland Minerals and Energy Ltd (“GMEL” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the government of Greenland has amended the Company?s exploration license (EL 2010/02) covering the Kvanefjeld multi-element project such that it is now inclusive of uranium.

This license covers the northern Ilimaussaq complex and includes the world-class Kvanefjeld resource, in addition to emerging satellite deposits Zones 2 & Zone 3 (Table 1). Under the licensing framework in Greenland, the licensee maintains the right to apply for an exploitation (mining) license for all exploitable elements listed on the exploration license. Importantly EL 2010/02 now includes radioactive materials, providing the company with the clear right to apply for the exploitation of radioactive elements along with all other exploitable elements. The granting of an exploitation license will be dependent on establishing an environmentally and socially sustainable development scenario that is economically robust.”

indicates that Greenland Energy and Minerals is now substantially de-risked.
