Walkabout Resources Ltd’s (ASX:WKT) recent receipt of the mining licence for its Lindi Jumbo Graphite Project in Tanzania has triggered multiple concurrent events across the project epi-centres.
The multiple events are:
RAP - Relocation Assistance Program; TNZ- Tanzania; Yantai - Yantai Jinpeng Mining and Machinery
Walkabout has accepted the mining licence conditions and has responded to the Ministry of Minerals of Tanzania. The company is now awaiting an update from the Ministry of Minerals Cadastre System.
The original strategy of project fast-track through concurrent design and engineering based activities has been maintained throughout the period of licence application.

In addition, the appointment of pre-selected project partners has advanced to the stage of legal agreements and final scopes of works.
The construction plans are well advanced across the range of primary and secondary level construction partners.
Walkabout has also engaged a project manager to manage the coordination and project interface detail between the partner contractors.
Recent resource upgrade drilling and trenching completed at Lindi indicates that the high-grade graphite mineralisation extends for at least another 300 metres to the northeast and remains open along strike.
Walkabout’s hydrology drilling has delineated sufficient water for construction and operational activities.
Meanwhile, the Relocation Assistance Program (RAP) process has been completed and is ready for settlement.
