TANGO ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH CC MINING LIMITED
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — 7 February 2018 – Tango Mining Limited (“Tango” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:TGV) is pleased to announce a partnership with CC Mining Limited (“CCML”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CC
Energy Limited (“CCEL”), which is a member of the Consolidated Contractors Company (“CCC”) group, with regard to
diamond projects in Angola.
Tango and CCML have signed a term sheet committing up to USD $1,300,000 investment (the “Investment”) that
Tango will use toward the development of its Txapemba Project, Angola, (“Txapemba” or the “Project”), subject to
certain conditions precedent. Tango has previously signed a three‐year renewable Services Agreement for Mining and
Marketing of Diamonds (the “Service Agreement”) with Txapemba Canguba RL for the semi‐industrial exploitation of
diamonds (see news release dated 11 September 2017). According to the Service Agreement, Tango is responsible for
capital expenditures associated with alluvial mine design and equipment acquisition and is the sole operator. As
remuneration, Tango will receive 60% of the net proceeds from the sale of produced stones, after deduction of
Tango’s operational costs.
Txapemba will be the first collaborative project between Tango and CCML and the Investment will include both a debt
and equity contribution to a new special purpose company. The Investment is subject to a renewal of the Project and
transfer of the Service Agreement to a new subsidiary of Tango and other conditions precedents. Terms and
conditions of the Investment will be provided upon completion of final legal documentation.
Tango took operational control of the Project on 23 October 2017. Since this time, the Project has been secured, earth
moving equipment has been mobilized for the construction, upgrade and maintenance of roads and trenching has
been completed in two areas to identify diamondiferous gravels. The Company will continue its geological and
technical assessment of the Project with the invaluable support of the Txapemba Caguba RL technical team working
with Tangos technical team that will result in the development of a work plan but maintains its intent to commence
bulk sampling and small scale alluvial diamond production in early 2018.
