Cliff Lawrenson, Managing Director of Minemakers, commented: "It is pleasing to realise cash proceeds from legacy assets and, in particular, we would like to acknowledge the effort and tenacity of our Chief Financial Officer, Rod Wheatley, who led the sale process over a prolonged period.

Minemakers is well placed to execute its recently announced near-production Baobab Rock Phosphate Project, subject to shareholder approval in August 2015. This cash injection adds to our existing cash will be a useful addition as we work to complete the acquisition of the Baobab Rock Phosphate Project in the Republic of Senegal."
