ASX-listed Resolute Mining has been awarded two highly prospective large-scale exploration concessions by the Egyptian Mineral Resource Authority for the Bokari and Um Samra exploration concessions .
This came in the first round of the government ’ s international tender process for gold concessions in the Sinai and Eastern Desert . The Um Samra block is 819km ² and is situated approximately 70km north-west of Centamin ’ s Sukari Gold Mine . Collectively , the Bokari and Um Samra exploration concessions represent approximately 2 400km ² of the high-potential Arabian-Nubian Shield . Resolute will now work with the local authorities to complete the necessary procedures of the tender process , which will include negotiations with the Egyptian local authorities in formal concession agreements to finalise detailed conditions for the operation of the concessions . On conclusion of these negotiations , the operating conditions will be adopted as Egyptian law . This process is expected to take approximately six months to complete .
