CHROME PROJECT UPDATE |
The last quarter of 2015 saw the market price of chrome-ore experience severe pressure with the price dropping from $175 to $120 per tonne. The adverse changes in the chrome-ore market, specifically those pertaining to price, have resulted in the Company's chrome project becoming financially unviable at present. As a result thereof, the board of directors of Bauba has decided to cease current operations and place the Moeijelijk Mine under care-and-maintenance with effect from 11 January 2016. The Moeijelijk Mine shall remain under care-and-maintenance until chrome-ore prices recover and increase to levels sufficient to justify the continuation of mining operations again.
