Mr Jones said the families of the directors who died trying to progress the Mbalam project supported the Hanlong deal.
''They are all very keen to see the project developed; the people who were killed in the air crash basically gave their lives for the project and they want to see the project developed, not become nothing,'' he said.
Several conditions apply to the deal, including a requirement that governments in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo approve the relevant mining conventions within the next eight weeks.
Mr Jones said he would travel to the African nations in October with Hanlong representatives in a bid to finalise the mining approvals, which he said were ''well advanced''.
"Well advanced", haven't we heard that phrase. Also, it is interesting to hear him mentioning the board that were killed in the air crash.
