Acacia notes that its North Mara Gold Mine has received a letter from the Mining Commission of the Tanzanian Ministry of Minerals informing it that the Mining Commission is soon to conduct an inspection of North Mara’s gold production. The letter states that export permits for gold shipments from North Mara will be issued following completion of this inspection. Acacia is seeking clarification on the timing for completion of the inspection and will provide a further update in due course as appropriate.
