According to the company, the two new licences replace the previous exploration permit 006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM.2010.

The issue of the new licence was preceded by Minbos and Petril Phosphates, its 50% joint venture partner signing two mining investment agreements in December last year with the MGM.

The company also signed a letter of intent with Port of Caio to secure port access for the Cabinda project.

Minbos Resources focuses on phosphate ore within the Cabinda Province of Angola, and is exploring more than 200,000ha of highly prospective ground hosting phosphate ore through its subsidiaries and joint ventures.
