Jubilee Metals Group PLC (LON:JLP) and its joint venture partner for the Kabwe project, BMR Group (LON:BMR), have agreed to extend the fulfilment on all conditions under their agreement from the end of February to the end of March.

The decision to extend the long-stop date comes after BMR lost its mining right for the Kabwe project in Zambia.

Jubilee said the extension will allow for the Kabwe project to remedy the cancellation of the current small scale mining licence.
