On October 15, 2007, Geovic Mining Corp. (Geovic; TSXV:GMC), announced that its 60%-owned subsidiary, Geovic Cameroon, PLC (GeoCam) expects to release the Final Feasibility Study (FFS) of the Nkamouna Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese Project (Project) in November 2007. GeoCam also advised that the FFS is premised on processing an average 2,000 tonnes of concentrate per day, which is a 33% increase compared to the rate used in the 2006 pre-feasibility study. In view of increased throughput and the global escalation of prices and demand for equipment, materials and personnel, particularly in the mining industry, capital costs to build the Project will be significantly higher than in the pre-feasibility study. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
