Subsidiary Signs Indigenous Land Use
Agreement to Advance Westmoreland

TORONTO
,
Nov. 29, 2022
/CNW/ - Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Tackle Resources Pty Ltd ("Tackle"), has
entered into an Indigenous land use agreement ("ILUA") and Ancillary Agreement with the
Gangalidda & Garawa Native Title Aboriginal Corporation ("GGNTAC") for the Westmoreland
Uranium Project. GGNTAC hold native title as agent for the native title holders over the area of the
Westmoreland Project. The ILUA was the subject of a successful consultation and consent process
with the native title holders which was finalised in Burketown,
Queensland
on
November 3, 2022
.
Under the ILUA, GGNTAC consents to the grant of a Mineral Development Licence ("MDL") to
Tackle. The grant of an MDL will allow Tackle to retain its interests in the exploration ground and
continue to prove the Westmoreland Project mineral resource. In return, the ILUA and Ancillary
Agreement provide for the involvement of the native title holders in the project and certain benefits,
including employment opportunities, on the project. It also provides detailed agreed arrangements
for the avoidance of harm to Aboriginal cultural heritage.
The ILUA and Ancillary Agreement is the result of good faith negotiations between the Tackle and
GGNTAC representatives. It represents the native title holders' free, prior and informed consent to
Tackle's ongoing exploration activities on the
Westmoreland
project. The ILUA underpins the very
positive and enduring relationship between the parties and the native title holders' strong support for
the Westmoreland Project.
The ILUA will now be lodged for registration with the National Native Title Tribunal, to facilitate
Tackle's application to the Queensland Government for the grant of the MDL.
