Orion welcomes IDC’s support at Okiep

South Africa’s Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has indicated its intention to partner with JSE- and ASX-listed Orion Minerals on the development of the Okiep copper project, in the Northern Cape.

As it stands, the IDC is a 43.75% shareholder in Southern African Tantalum Mining (Safta) – one of the entities subject to Orion’s original option agreement over the project and an original vendor of the project.
