Speewah Metals Limited (“Speewah” or “the Company”) (ASX:SPM) is pleased to advise that it has received a Research & Development tax rebate based on research that forms part of the 2011 Exploration Programme.
The tax rebate, received this week, totaled $747,000 and will support working capital throughout the remainder of 2012.
Research conducted as part of the Exploration Programme completed during the 2011 Financial Year complies with the criteria set out for the Research & Development Scheme that allows the deductible cost of the research to be claimed as a Tax Rebate.
ELIGIBILITY FOR REBATE FOR 2012 FINANCIAL YEAR EXPENDITURE
Speewah expects that it will be eligible to receive a further Research & Development tax rebate based on research that forms part of exploration and detailed metallurgical testing that was completed during the 2012 Financial Year.

This testwork is a natural progression from Research & Development project that sought to define and identify the unique mineralogical deposit that forms the Speewah JORC Resource.
