Japanese Company Signs South Australia Exploration Deal

The Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. said on Friday that the independent administrative agency has signed a contract with Minotaur Exploration Ltd. of Australia to jointly explore mines in South Australia.

The Japanese agency will provide A$2 million over three years for the exploration of rare earth and copper mines in the Mabel Creek region and acquire a 51 percent stake in the exploration project.

It said it expects to discover large rare earth and copper deposits because the region is close to mines producing these resources.
