About African Eagle
African Eagle is a diversified mineral exploration and development company
operating in eastern and central Africa. The Company`s principal advanced
projects are the Mkushi Copper Mines project in Zambia, for which a Feasibility
Study will be completed in Q4 2008, and the Miyabi gold project in Tanzania, at
which the Company has defined an estimated half-million ounce gold resource.
African Eagle is also evaluating two promising nickel laterite deposits which it
recently discovered in Tanzania. The Company holds a large well-balanced
portfolio of promising earlier stage gold and base metal projects, including the
Ndola and Mokambo copper projects in Zambia.
Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, the sites of African Eagle`s projects, are all
countries which have highly prospective geology, relatively low above-ground
risks and track records of successful major investments in the metals and
minerals industries.
African Eagle specialises in project generation and exploration. To take its
discoveries into production, it seeks to sign up industry partners with records
of successful mine development. These joint ventures and, in time, the revenue
from advanced projects, will finance future exploration and new discoveries.
