ONGRCD_04 was completed at 693.03 metres with the following geological observations:
-
Intersection of lithological units interpreted as the lower D’Kar Formation, including black shale units, which have been identified as important geological markers for the targeting of mineralisation at MOD Resources Limited’s (ASX:MOD) T3 Project and at Cupric Canyon’s Zone 5 Deposit;
-
Increased variability in facies changes down hole is suggestive of Lower D’Kar lithologies;
-
Observed copper sulphides including chalcopyrite and bornite, may potentially be exhibiting the classic py-cpy-bo-cc copper mineral zonation typically observed within the Kalahari Copper Belt; and
-
Identified additional pathfinder minerals including galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite.
The Company is encouraged by the intersection of black shales and increasing presence of sulphide mineralogy, in addition to alteration identified as associated with mineralisation elsewhere on the Kalahari Copper Belt.
The drillhole was stopped at 693.03 metres, due to the intersection of a late stage fault and lithological change.

Korong Domal Prospect - Botswana
The Korong Domal Prospect is approximately 84 km in strike length and over an area of 1,100 km². The Company has previously flown an extensive airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey over the dome and identified multiple targets. Recent activities include a reappraisal and reprocessing of the airborne EM survey, incorporating recent drilling information resulting in establishment of additional targets.
In June 2019, the Company decided to extend the Korong drillhole KDC-DD001 to 650 m depth and investigate the possible contact position and potential copper mineralisation. In keeping with prudent capital management, this drillhole was stopped at 650 m, with the contact position not yet being intersected. Increasing alteration and the presence of sulphide pathfinder minerals is positive and ground NSAMT survey work will now be undertaken at Korong. This NSAMT survey will provide the company with further architecture and depth across a selected portion of the Korong Dome and will assist in targeting for the next round of drilling.
Virgo Project – Botswana
The Virgo Project comprises two licences (PL135/2017 and PL162/2017) located approximately 23 and 33 km respectively from Cupric Canyon’s Zone 5 copper-silver sulphide mine which is currently under construction. A detailed ground magnetic survey was undertaken over the recently identified soil anomalies at Virgo[1] .
The ground magnetic survey was carried out to increase our understanding of the structural and lithological controls underlying the soil geochemical anomalies. The survey was carried out using GEM GSM-19W Overhauser walk magnetometers with on board GPS.
The area surveyed on PL 135/2017 consisted of 95.5 line kilometres surveyed along 4 groups of 3 lines with 2 tie lines covering an area of 36 km[2] . A second survey was conducted on PL 162/2017 also consisting of 4 groups of 3 lines covering 34.6 line kilometres over an area of 12 km[2] .
The ground magnetic survey has identified targeted lithological sequences, coincident to the recently identified soil anomalies. This activity is key to advancing the Company’s geological understanding of the area, prior to the commencement of planned drilling. Based upon the results of this survey, the Company has decided to initiate the environmental management plan (EMP) process, focusing upon the two targeted areas identified.

Natural Source Audio Magneto-Telluric Survey (NSAMT) - Qembo Dome and Otjari Domal Prospects - Namibia
Qembo Dome
The Qembo survey comprises an initial 8 line kilometres of 100 m spaced NSAMT data which was acquired by Namibian based Gregory Symons Geophysics (GSG), along a north-west south-east orientated survey line.
The Qembo Dome is a known domal structure with documented copper mineralisation located on the northern geological contact between the D’Kar/Ngwako Pan Formations. This NSAMT survey will provide the Company with a better understanding of the Ngwako Pan Formations geophysical signature and the Qembo Dome’s overall geometry and structure as well as assist the Company with better delineating the targeted geological contact across its other high priority targets. This information will be used to further refine the geological interpretation of the Ongava and Omenye Domal Prospects and assist with further

drill planning. The D’Kar/Ngwako Pan Formation geological contact is known to host copper/silver mineralisation across the Kalahari Copper Belt.
The NSAMT method is a low-impact, non-invasive, electromagnetic, geophysical technique that measures naturally occurring electromagnetic fields that are induced by natural electromagnetic activity above the earth’s surface.

Otjari Domal Prospect
The Otjari survey covers an initial 8.3 line kilometres of 100 m spaced NSAMT data collected along a northwest south-east orientated survey line. The Otjari domal prospect has been interpreted as a shallow subsurface anticline, along strike of the Qembo Dome.
The results of the Otjari Domal Prospect NSAMT survey indicates the interpreted D’Kar/Ngwako Pan Formations geological contact may lie within 200 m of surface. The results of this Otjari NSAMT survey and the Qembo Dome NSAMT survey, together with further interpretation of the aeromagnetic data has provided the Company with confidence to extend the NSAMT survey to the south-west, aiming to cover the southern margin of an additional adjacent domal structure. In addition to this NSAMT extension survey, a ground magnetic survey over the existing NSAMT lines will be completed to help the Company develop drilling targets. The next round of drilling is being planned.
