Business Description
Kibush Capital Corporation is a mineral and natural resources exploration company.
We are currently involved in mineral exploration and timber logging through
our subsidiary Aqua Mining. Aqua Mining operates a timber logging and processing
operation in Papua New Guinea and is also active in mineral exploration in Papua
New Guinea where we are exploring for gold.
Our business is comprised of timber logging and mining exploration through
our subsidiary Aqua Mining. Our primary office is located at 7 Sarah Crescent,
Templestowe, Victoria 3106, Australia. The Company is an exploration stage company
and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists
on any of our properties. Further exploration will be required before a final
evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined.
On February 14, 2014, we entered into an Assignment and Bill of Sale with Five
Arrows Limited (“Five Arrows”) pursuant to which Five Arrows agreed
to assign to the Company all of its right, title and interest in two 50 ton
per hour trammels, one 35 ton excavator, a warehouse/office, a concrete processing
apron and four 35 ton per hour particle concentrators which may be utilized
for alluvial mining, the assignment also conveyed Five Arrow’s interest
in a joint venture with the holders of mining leases (“Leaseholders”)
for gold exploration in Papua New Guinea, specifically Mining Leases ML296-301
and ML278 covering approximately 26 hectares located at Koranga in Wau, Morobe
Province, Papua, New Guinea (the “Koranga Property”). In consideration
therefore, the Company issued 40,000,000 shares of its common stock to Five
Arrows. On February 28, 2014, we entered into a joint venture agreement with
the Leaseholders (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) for the exploration
of minerals on the Koranga Property. The Joint Venture Agreement entitles the
leaseholders to 30% and the Company to 70% of net profits from the joint venture.
On May 23rd 2015 this Joint Venture was sold to our subsidiary Aqua Mining (PNG)
Ltd. Aqua Mining will manage and carry out the exploration at the site, including
entering into contracts with third parties and subcontractors (giving priority
to the Leaseholders and their relatives and the local community for employment
opportunities and spin-off business) at its cost, and all assets, including
equipment and structures built on the site, will be the property of the Company.
The Leaseholders and Aqua Mining will each contribute 1% from their share of
net profits to a trust account for landowner and government requirements.
The joint venture involves a lease that, between 2008 and 2011, has produced
a total of 55,300 cubic meters of mined material which was processed to extract
51,000 grams of gold – raw weight (approximately 31kg pure gold) over
the three years of mining activities. Gold production in 2010 averaged 1.97kg
per month and in 2011 averaged 2.26kg per month. The overall raw gold grade
is 0.92g per cubic meter. Pure gold grade is 0.55g per cubic meter. The Company
is currently in the exploration stage for this lease. If and when successful,
the Company may endeavor to undertake additional joint ventures on neighboring
leaseholds (8 leaseholds border the area) to capitalize on the infrastructure
and equipment we may install at Koranga.
We entered into a memorandum of understanding, dated May 1, 2014 with New Guinea
Gold Corporation, for the purchase of New Guinea Gold Ltd., which was terminated
by us on May 24, 2014 prior to commencing any transactions contemplated in connection
therewith. The Company has no continuing obligations as a result of such termination.
