Indophil Resources NL, with its registered office in Victoria, Australia, owns 34 percent operating interest in Sagittarius Mines, Inc, a Philippine mineral exploration and development company which controls the world-class Tampakan Copper-Gold Project in the Southern Philippines.

The Tampakan Project's mineral resource is the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposit in southeast Asia. The latest confirmed mineral resource estimate is 2.4 billion tons containing 13.5 million tons of copper and 15.8 million ounces of gold at a 0.3 percent copper cut-off grade, the company said in the statement.

The deal, reached on Sunday, is still waiting for regulatory approval from both the Chinese and Australian governments, the company said.
