Dear Elizabeth
Revision to ASX Release dated 25 June 2019 - Visible cassiterite confirms second major tin target at Kikagati, Uganda
Carnavale Resources Limited (“the Company”) has prepared an updated ASX announcement which addresses queries raised by ASX with respect to disclosure of exploration results.
The Company would like to retract statements made with respect to the Kikagati project to be “potentially amenable to open pit mining methods and simple processing” as insufficient work has been completed to determine. The Company also notes that in the attached ASX release it has added an estimate of the visible cassiterite to be < 1% in each sample by volume.
Yours sincerely

Visible cassiterite confirms second major tin target at Kikagati, Uganda
Carnavale Resources Limited (ASX: CAV) is pleased to advise that first ever drilling and trenching at the Hippo Hill prospect has confirmed the presence of visible cassiterite (tin-bearing mineral, visually estimated to be <1% in each sample by volume). Hippo Hill is located approximately 2km west of the main Kikagati Tin Deposit (Figure 1) and is the second large scale tin prospect defined at the Kikagati Tin Project in Uganda.
The two large scale tin prospects defined to date demonstrate the prospective nature of the project and provide an excellent opportunity to define large tin resources.
-
Second tin target with dimensions 1.5km long x 150m wide
-
Visible cassiterite (tin mineral) observed at surface and in drilling
Kikagati and Hippo Hill - large scale open pit resource targets
Hippo Hill is a 1.5km long east west trending target with an interpreted 150m wide prospective corridor defined by quartz vein stockwork of variable density and associated mica rich alteration. The nuggetty cassiterite is observed as crystals up to 20mm long (Figure 2), occurring along the margins of the quartz veins in both drilling and in the surface trenching (Figure 4). Historic artisanal workings and shafts occur sporadically along the 1.5km strike length.
The recent exploration activities have focussed on Hippo Hill with 3 diamond drill holes completed for a total of 388.5m, limited short trenching adjacent to the drilling section and soil sampling along the 1.5km target. The drilling targeted outcropping quartz veins with mica alteration that has been mined by the local artisanal miners. The trenches were established upon identification of the visible cassiterite in drill hole KHHDD002 at 60m and 97m depth. Mapping of the trench has identified further finer grained cassiterite crystals in the selvage of thin quartz veins and in the weathered colluvium just above bedrock. All assays results remain pending with results expected during the September 2019 quarter.
-
3 HQ diamond drill core holes completed.
-
1.5km x 400m soil sampling survey undertaken.
-
Cassiterite (to 20mm) observed in hole KHHDD002 at 60m and 97m.
Cassiterite (to 10mm) observed along vein selvages in trench HHT001.
Subvertical vein stockwork from surface.
Cassiterite has been observed in quartz-mica veins as well as along the contact between individual quartz veins and the surrounding schist host rock. The stockwork is defined by a series of subvertical larger veins, historically targeted by artisanal miners through to bedding-parallel, sub-vertical and oblique less sized veins and associated mica alteration. Figure 3 is a cross section showing the drilling locations and the interpreted zone of sub-vertical stockwork trend. Bedding defined by thin quartzite units within the schist dips to the north and the dominant foliation fabric and vein orientation is subvertical.
Overall the Hippo Hill is considered prospective due to the large target dimension (1.5km x 150m) and visible cassiterite observed within a quartz vein stockwork.

|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a license to operate in the area. |
• Hippo Hill drilling is on EL1380 which are in the Isingiro District in South-West Uganda. • The licences are 100% owned by African Panther Resources (U) Limited (APRU) • Carnavale has earned the right to 51% of the project by drilling 2,000m of diamond core, with the continuing right to earn up to 70% by sole funding to completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• APRU have completed several pitting programmes to test the colluvial gravels at the nearby Kikagati Hill . • No known hard-rock drilling has been undertaken on any of the licences prior to Carnavale involvement. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• At the Hippo Hill Prospect, the geology is composed of a mica schist with thin interbeds of quartzite. The sequence has been folded regionally and is north dipping at the drill target. Mineralisation targeted is within a subvertical stockwork of quartz veins and associated alteration. The target alteration zone is estimated to be 150m wide and potential to extend for 1.5km. |
| Drill hole Information | • A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole |
• Drill hole location and directional information is provided in the attached report. |

| • down hole length and interception depth • hole length. • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
||
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• Sample results remain pending |
| Relationship between mineralisa- tion widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down _hole length, true width not known’). _ |
• Drilling may not be perpendicular to the dip of mineralisation and true widths will be assess when results are received and assessed. |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• Representative plans and sections are provided in this report. |
| Balanced reporting | • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• The report is considered balanced and provided in context. • Further drilling, mapping, sampling and other exploration activities will be required to fully understand the deposit in greater detail. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
• No meaningful previous or recent work is known to have been completed on the prospect area. • Artisanal workings are estimated to be approximately 30m depth and occur sporadically along the 1.5km strike length. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out _drilling). _ |
• The Company plans to finalise the next phase of exploration activities once results from the current drilling, trench and soil samples assays are received. |
