Amur Minerals Corporation (AIM: AMC) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed two additional exploration filings related to its Kun-Manie nickel copper sulphide project located in the Russian Far East. These filings and their subsequent approvals are required by Russian Federation authorities to allow the Company to continue its exploration for nickel while simultaneously pursuing a production decision. Filings include the following:
- Annual exploration reviews on Kun-Manie are required to ensure that Amur has met its exploration obligations according to the terms of the exploration licence. The final report for the 2008 programme was submitted to Amurnedra, the local licensing agency, along with the appropriate Russian Federation expert opinions. The report has been approved, confirming that Amur has successfully met its historical exploration commitments for the past five years which was the timeframe allotted for the original exploration licence.
- Amur was granted a two year extension on the exploration licence in December 2008 and as part of the approval of the two year extension, a two year exploration programme was submitted by Amur and approved by the authorities.
