The 3PR 1323, 1324 & 1325 of which the Congolese company Mbomo
Mountains sarl is the holder have never ceased to be valid and are in the
event of force majeure for never having received the search certificates in
violation of art 109 of the mining regulations.
with
• The application form
• Favorable cadastral opinions
• The Ministerial Order
• The debit note relating to the surface tax
• The receipt of the payment of the tax
The judgment RCE1270 (cf http://www.thaurfin.com/irrefutable/AN82.pdf) granted the 3
mining permits 1323, 1324 and 1325 among the 37 permits granted to Rubi River sprl
The mining permits PR1323, PR1324 & PR1325 have been officially
transferred from the company Thaurfin ltd to the Congolese mining
company Mbomo Mountains sarl
The deed of transfer and the minutes setting out its conditions are
published in french at this page «TRANSFERT»
The banded iron formations
(BIF) are sedimentary rocks with
a high iron content (at least 15%).
They represent 90% of the iron
ore exploited in the world.
The rock is called itabirite.
The
particularity
of
the
Banalia
deposit
is
its
extremely
high
iron
content
(more
than
63%)
whereas
the
usual
content of itabirites is often less than 45% Fe.
The
iron
enrichment
of
the
ore
comes
from
an
intense
leaching
that
has
taken
the
sterile
gangue,
the
ore
is
then porous, but very rich.
This
leaching
comes
from
its
proximity
to
an
imposing
massive
granite
intrusive.
It
is
responsible
for
the
recovery
of
the
sedimentary
layers
which
are
found
in
a
subvertical
position.
The
last
phase
of
consolidation
of
this
granite
is
the
hydrothermal
phase
characterized
by
an
increase
in
pressure.
The
high
pressure
and
high
temperature
hyrothermal
liquids
escape
from
the
granite
massif
by
crossing
the
rocks
that
adjoin
this
granite.
The
sedimentary
layers
being
straightened,
these
hydrothermal
flows
must
cross
them,
which
explains
the
effectiveness
of
this
leaching.
This
hydrothermal
phase
is
also
responsible
for
the
gold
mineralization
caused
by
hydrothermal
flows.
It
is
therefore
logical
to
preferentially
look
for
this
gold
mineralization
in
the
fault
zones
that
were
transport
vectors of these flows.
In the future, a new railway will connect Kisangani to
Mombasa. Mombasa to Nairobi is already done, the
cost is about 22M$ per km.
Distance by road between Kisangani to Mombasa is
1850km, if the cost per km is the same, the cost to
connect Kisangani should be 40b$.
