The signing of the Agreements will, in the Companys view, add significant value to Marampa, located approximately 100km south-southeast of Tonkolili, as a key aspect of the Agreements is the upgrade of the Pepel port and Marampa railway ("Pepel & Rail Infrastructure") by 2011. As part of its Phase One development of Tonkolili, African Minerals is planning to upgrade both the Pepel port and Marampa railway, including auxiliaries required for operation, to enable up to 8 million tonnes per annum of hematite iron ore to be exported by 2011.
