Company Overview
Minerva Resources plc (AIM: MVA) (“Minerva Resources” or “the
Company”) is a UK based mineral company intent on delivering
shareholder value by increasing and
developing mineral resources in a socially and environmentally responsible
manner.
In July 2007 Minerva Resources was formed when Palladex
plc has acquired assets in Ethiopia and Sierra Leone from Ambrian
Capital and Ethiopian Resources Ltd. The assets in Ethiopia and Sierra
Leone were owned by Ambrian Capital and managed largely by Ethiopian
Resources Ltd. Palladex plc was admitted to AIM in February 2004
and changed its name to Minerva Resources plc in the merger process.
For Palladex the acquisitions marked a change in the strategic focus
of the Company, from Central Asia to Africa.
Minerva Resources will focus on the further development of
the Yubdo Platinum Mine and resource delineation of a number of gold
exploration projects in Ethiopia, supported by revenues from drilling
services currently being conducted in Kyrgyzstan. The assets
in Sierra Leone will for the most part continue to be developed by
existing Joint Venture partners.
