Brossard, Quebec / TheNewswire / October 30th, 2017 - Nippon Dragon Resources Inc. ("Nippon" or "NDR") (TSX-V Symbol: NIP), is pleased to announce that it has renewed its agreement pertaining to the usage of thermal fragmentation for the next 3 years with Maxem Equipment PTY Limited (Maxem) for South Africa and neighboring countries.
The new agreement includes a monthly royalty fee plus a monthly rental fee per burner head (lance) employed. This new method of compensation will facilitate the general administration of the agreement.
The company hopes that Maxem will employ several lances in the future. Maxem's client for the past two years continues to use the lance that it operates in one of their operations. Taking into account the geological context found in South Africa and elsewhere, thermal fragmentation seems to be one of the solutions to extract precious metals economically and safely.
Thermal fragmentation is a tool that allows companies to control dilution during blasting by quickly and cheaply boring openings and extracting mineralized corridors previously identified by the geologists. The entire mining industry should benefit from this innovation.
