Allied Gold Limited is listed on both the Australian Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange (AIM). Allied Gold’s activities are focused on the development of the Simberi Oxide Gold Project located in the Tabar Islands of Papua New Guinea as well as exploration for gold and copper on the adjacent Tatau and Big Tabar Islands. Allied Gold also has silver and base metals project in Mexico.
MEXICO - MAPIMI
Allied through its subsidiary company Nord Pacific de Mexico S.A de C.V. holds an exploitation licence covering 3,938ha in the Mapimi mining district of the Sierra Madre Occidental in the northeast part of the state of Durango, Mexico.
The project area is situated about 45 kilometres north-northwest of the major cities of Gomez Palacio and Torreon.
Allied’s project area surrounds the historic Mapimi mining district (or Ojuela district) which historically produced high-grade silver, lead and zinc ore for Penoles at their smelter located at the nearby town of Mapimi during the period from about 1890 to 1920. Between 1920 and 1931 Mapimi ore was transported to smelters located at Torreon or Monterrey.
TABAR ISLANDS GOLD PROJECT
On 15th of November 2004 Allied Gold Limited (Allied) entered into an agreement with Simberi Gold Corporation (“SGC”) to acquire its interests in the Tabar Islands Gold Project in eastern PNG.
Under the terms of the Agreement Allied moved to an 87.5% interest in the Simberi Mining Joint Venture (ML136) on Simberi Island and a 100% interest in EL 609 which covers the remainder of the Tabar Island Group outside of ML 136.
Consideration for the acquisition was payment of C$4.0 million by Allied to SGC, which occurred during April 2005. Further to the Agreement, SGC retained a 12.5% free carried interest (“FCI”) in the Simberi Mining Joint Venture through to the earlier of a decision to mine or 31 December 2009, at which point the FCI would be converted into Allied shares at a minimum price of A$0.50 per share. The value of the conversion was to be based upon a Net Present Value calculated from the bankable feasibility study at the time of making the decision to mine.
RED DAM PROJECT
The Red Dam gold project is located near Coolgardie, Western Australia and is comprised of P16/1577 and P16/1578, and applications for M16/344 and P16/2078. The tenements cover a contiguous area of approximately 300ha. The project is located in a structural corridor containing current gold resources exceeding 5Moz. Deposits in this zone include Kundana, White Foil, Frogs Leg, the ABC Line, Mungari East and Carbine.
On 27 July 2004 Allied entered into an Option Agreement with Siberia Mining Corporation Ltd for the sale of the Red Dam gold project for a consideration of between $950,000 and $1,000,000. At the Option expiry date of 26 July 2005 the Option had not been exercised.
