AUDIO: Australian Bauxite (ASX:ABZ) CEO Ian Levy on Transfer of Bauxite Tenements from Hudson Resources
Sydney, Jan 20, 2010 (ABN Newswire) - AUDIO: Australian Bauxite Limited (
ASX:ABZ) was incorporated late in 2009 specifically for the purpose of acquiring the bauxite interests of Hudson Resources Limited.
The proposal was to increase the portfolio through a staged development program in each of three bauxite provinces which will include exploration, sampling, drill testing and analysis from a wider range of targets on all exploration tenements.
Just last week Australian Bauxite Limited received advice from Queensland Mines and Energy that title in all the Queensland ABx project tenements had been transferred from Hudson Resources to ABx3 Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ABx.
