East Africa Metals Inc. announced that, it has received the following update from its Tanzanian partner, PMM Mining Company Limited ("PMM"). PMM Mining has informed EAM it has engaged development of a plan to re-process existing tailings from artisanal mining activities that took place between 2007 and 2016 at the Magambazi site, during which time large, active artisanal mining operations extracted gold from high-grade quartz veins within the Magambazi main zone. To date, PMM has completed the construction of the tailings re-processing plant and initiated start-up of the re-processing operation. The tailing re-processing operation is expected to be in full production prior to the end of the first quarter of 2021. During 2018, Canaco Tanzania Limited ("CTL") surveyed the volume of the tailings, which were mined from its licenses by a group of illegal miners, who were exploiting the high-grade gold veins intercepted during a drilling program conducted in its license area. Recent stockpiled tailings have not been sampled by CTL; however, the gold assay from different piles of tailings taken in November 2007 indicated a significant amount of gold was unrecovered in the ore mined from Magambazi deposit. The gold tailings totalled an estimated 32,000 tonnes at undetermined grade and metallurgical recoveries. The processing flow-sheet will see the tailings re-milled to further expose remaining free gold, followed by treatment through a gravity circuit and finally through a CIP Plant. PMM is currently on site working towards the final stages to commission the CIP Plant.
