Subsidiary Wishbone Gold Honduras Ltd has inked the 30 - year deal with SION Honduras, which has an agreement with the Honduran government to expand the mining industry there.

''This is a huge opportunity which the market hasn't really grasped at this point'', Poulden says.

In return, the mines will supply Wishbone's trading subsidiary Black Sand FZE with all the output at preferential prices.
