Victory West Moly Limited (ASX:VWM) 20 Year Production And Operational (Exploitation) Licenses Granted For Two Key Concessions Form Malala Molybdenum Project

Perth, Sep 20, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Victory West Moly Limited (googlechartASX:VWM) (FSE:R1E) are very pleased to announce the successful grant of Production and Operational (Exploitation) IUP licenses for its two most strategic concessions that form the core of the Malala Molybdenum Project located in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The Production and Operation IUP facilitates the commercial extraction of Molybdenum from the concession areas for a period of 20 years (renewable for a further 10 - 20 years).

Inti Cemerlang - Anomaly B

Within the Malala Molybdenum Project Inti Cemerlang is the most prospective and advanced concession. Substantial work has been undertaken over the last two years with a focus on verifying and expanding an initial exploration target at "Anomaly B" within the Inti Cemerlang concession of 105- 115Mt @ 660-900ppm Molybdenum based on previous work by Rio Tinto (googlechartASX:RIO) (googlechartPINK:RTNTF), Santos (googlechartASX:STO) (googlechartPINK:STOSF) and the Company.

A number of geological data sets have now been combined with the results of an IP survey undertaken in March 2010 over Anomaly B, resulting in the definition of a revised geological model. This model highlights the potential for significant upside at Anomaly B, with the Target Zone increased from 800m to over 4km. This is an increase of more than 300% compared to previous knowledge providing significant upside in the Anomaly B exploration target.

Promistis

Promistis is a relatively new discovery 10kms north-west of Anomaly B and is currently the focus of an aggressive exploration campaign. Work to date has identified enormous regional potential to make further discoveries. The recognition of the geological contact between the intrusive rocks and the sedimentary rocks has important implications for regional prospecting.

Exploration Extensions

Additionally, exploration IUP license extensions have been granted for PT Era Moreco and PT Indo Surya Moreco concessions for an additional 3 years. It is expected that a 3 year exploration extension for the Sembilan Sumber Mas concession will be granted within the next month.

CEO Rob Hyndes commented "The Granting of the Production and Operational IUP licenses for Inti Cemerlang and Promistis represents a significant milestone for the Company. By securing an additional 20 years of tenure over the Projects most prospective acreage underpins the valuable asset base and provides a significant step towards the crystallising of substantial value in the Project"

The granting of the exploitation licenses and extension of the exploration licenses is very timely and will provide significant additional comfort to the Guangshou Group as they finalise their due diligence".
