IBI Corporation Overview
Uranium: Following a decision to focus on high-value minerals exploration and development in Uganda and East Africa, IBI sold its Namekara Vermiculite Mine in Uganda to Rio Tinto for US $5 million in March 2007, with final closing in March 2008. IBI subsequently has focused primarily on developing opportunities for the exploration and development of uranium in Uganda and Tanzania. IBI's prospective uranium land portfolio is comprised of approximately 2,882 square kilometres in Uganda and Tanzania. The Company is currently seeking to add more uranium lands.
The Company has prepared a proposal for the Government of Uganda for a private/public partnership between IBI Corporation and the Government of Uganda for the exploration and development of IBI's prospective uranium lands towards the goal of creating a nuclear electrical power generation program for Uganda.
Gold: IBI has accelerated its program of investing in promising gold opportunities, most notably through its current ownership position in Grey Crown Resources Limited. Grey Crown owns the Tira Gold Mine in Uganda and has also built a prospective gold lands portfolio of 1,242 square kilometres in the South East Uganda Greenstone Belt, which is considered to be an extension of the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt where several prominent majors, including Barrick Gold and AngloGold Ashanti, are currently producing gold from proven reserves.
General: In February 2009, IBI entered into a joint venture agreement with Venus Capital Resources Limited in which IBI holds a 20% carried interest in 12 exploration license properties comprising 3,442 square kilometres, and regarding which, Venus is the project operator. The properties are contemplated for uranium, gold, and rare earth minerals exploration.
