Evolution Energy Minerals expects the formal public signing of framework and shareholder agreements with the Tanzanian government for the ownership, development and management of its 100%-owned Chilalo graphite project this month.
Under the agreements negotiated with the Special Presidential Government Negotiating Team and reviewed by the Attorney General, the proposed 50,000tpa, 18-year development will be undertaken by a JV company with Evolution holding 84% indirectly and the Tanzanian government 16%.
MD Phil Hoskins says they will provide the certainty required by financiers over the operation of the government’s free carried interest.
