==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [523 x 678] intentionally omitted <==
-
Prospecting Licences targeted using acquired BHP Data
-
Focus on the NNE-trending Mesoproterozoic-age, meta-sedimentary, Karagwe-Ankole Orogenic Belt of North-West Tanzania
-
All Licences and Applications cover 1,145 km[2 ] are within the highly prospective Kabanga-Musongati/Kibaran mafic-ultra mafic belt of Tanzania
-
Right geological setting within the Karagwe Ankolean belt which hosts the 58Mt @ 2.62% Ni, Kabanga Nickel deposit and is characterised by the following:
-
§ Hosted in ultramafic intrusions
-
§ Has elevated Ni and Cu values in overlying soil
-
§ Mineralised massive sulphides are conductive

RIGHT EXPLORATION METHODOLOGY
==> picture [327 x 106] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [583 x 673] intentionally omitted <==
- Initial Exploration Focus is Adavale’s 4 licences closest to the Kabanga Nickel Deposit
▼ 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)
-
§ Soil geochemistry implemented to identify Ni and Cu anomalies (detection of mineralisation)
-
§ AMT conducted across targets to identify zones of conductivity
-
§ Prioritise targets to follow up with ground EM by ranking them based on their level of conductivity, quality of Ni and Cu anomalies, location relative to magnetic lows and extent of coincidence between these three factors
-
§ Begin initial drilling at prioritised targets by June 2021
-
Work to date has been completed primarily on Kabanga N and Kabanga NE so the remaining slides will address these two licences

GEOLOGY CONCLUDING REMARKS
==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [327 x 106] intentionally omitted <==
-
Located adjacent to, and along strike, from the Kabanga Nickel Deposit within the prospective Karagwe Ankolean Belt along the lineament of ultramafics intrusions
-
Geochemical surveys have identified 4 coincident Ni & Cu anomalies at Kabanga N and 2 broad anomalies within Kabanga NE
-
Further we have identified ultramafic outcropping and disseminated sulphides
-
Follow up AMT has identified anomalies at all Kabanga N sites surveyed
-
Currently surveying Kabanga NE with AMT
-
Where AMT conductors have been identified these will be followed up with EM surveys
-
EM conductors will be drill tested

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 Improving government bureaucratic taxation investment in growth processes processes areas
