ADAVALE’S KIBANGA JIRANI NICKEL LICENCES

  • Prospecting Licences were specifically targeted based on the rich details contained in the acquired BHP Data

==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [327 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

  • Focus has been on the NNE-trending Karagwe-Ankole Orogenic Belt of North-West Tanzania known for Ni, Cu, Co, Cr & PGE’s

  • Meso-Proterozoic circum-cratonic tectonic setting similar to Thomson Belt, Raglan and Voisey’s Bay NiS deposits Canada and IGO’s Nova in the AlbanyFraser Belt in Western Australia.

  • Targeting mafic-ultramafic layered intrusions emplaced into a sulphur bearing sediments including pelites, iron sulphides, the sulphur source required for the formation of magmatic nickel sulphide deposits.

  • All 7 Licences secured, cover 1,145 km[2 ] are within the highly prospective Kibaran Kabanga-Musongati mafic-ultra mafic alignment of Tanzania

THE RIGHT GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND EXPLORATION METHODOLOGY

==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [327 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

  • Right geological setting: within the Karagwe Ankolean belt which hosts the 58Mt @ 2.62% Ni Kabanga Nickel deposit

Kabanga characterised by the following:

  • Hosted in ultramafic intrusions/elevated Ni and Cu values in soils

  • Mineralised massive sulphides are conductive

Exploration Techniques Applicable:

  • § Ultramafics reflect as magnetic lows per BHP magnetic data, and detected from soil data by using Cr, V, Fe, Ni and Cu (mafic indices) and signatures

  • § Soil geochemistry implemented to identify Ni and Cu anomalies (detection of mineralisation)

  • § AMT (“Audio-frequency MagnetoTelluric” survey) & TDEM (“Time Domain Electromagnetic”) conducted across targets to identify zones of conductivity

  • § Ground Magnetics to detect intrusions conducted and then continuous re-ranking based on their level of conductivity via AMT & TDEM, quality of Ni and Cu anomalies, location relative to magnetic lows and extent of coincidence between these 4 vectors

  • § Drill testing now underway on Target 3

  • COMPREHENSIVE INITIAL EXPLORATION PROGRAM (inc 3,000m DD 8 Hole program)

TANZANIA’S INCREASING FAVOURABILITY

In a bid to improve the climate for investment with a view to attracting investors, the recently appointed Tanzanian President, H.E. Hassan is preparing the national investment development strategy and a new investment law with already a number of changes being flagged to investors including:

Signed framework Removing Reducing agreement barriers to delays in the US$664M with foreign issuing of Kabanga Nickel the investment permits and to develop the licenses Kabanga nickel project

Increased Improving government bureaucratic investment processes in growth areas

Improving taxation processes
