Multiple visible cassiterite occurrences in drilling at the Kikagati Tin Project, Uganda
Carnavale Resources (ASX: CAV) is pleased to advise geological logging of recently completed diamond core holes has identified multiple occurrences of fine grained to coarse grain cassiterite, a tin bearing mineral, at the Kikagati Tin Project, located in the Isingiro District of southern Uganda.
-
Multiple visible cassiterite occurrences
-
Stacked “ladder style” quartz veins
-
Tier 1 scale geological target
-
Drilling nearing 70% complete
-
Initial samples in laboratory, results pending
Drilling continues at the Kikagati Tin Project, with 1,353.5m completed to date of the planned 2,000m programme. The more recent drill holes are designed to intersect the maximum number of stacked and mineralised quartz veins hosted within the quartzite host which is approximately 100m thick.
Stacked mineralised veins and visible cassiterite
The stacked “ladder style” quartz veins and associated intense muscovite and tourmaline alteration is evident along the entire prospect strike length of 3,000m and in drilling of over 900m down dip extent. Artisanal miners have exploited the cassiterite bearing veins outcropping at surface to a depth of approximately 40m and visible cassiterite is noted in the recent drilling associated with the same stacked ladder style quartzmuscovite-tourmaline veins at depth in the drilling.
Multiple occurrences of visible fine grained to coarse grain cassiterite have been noted in both the internal portion of the quartz veins and associated with the intense muscovite-tourmaline alteration selvages. The nuggety nature of cassiterite mineralisation is expected based on mapping and historic reports reviewed and undertaken by the Company.
Initial drill core samples for the first 6 holes have been submitted to the ALS laboratory in South Africa and results are expected in the coming weeks. The remaining drill core samples are currently being processed in preparation for dispatch to the laboratory.
Tier 1 scale
Drilling has now clearly demonstrated the project has Tier 1 scale with considerable potential to further grow in scale at depth and potentially along strike beneath surficial cover.
Minimum scale of the known visible quartz veining style mineralisation and geological host unit is now defined as:
3,000m strike length x 900m down dip x 100m thickness
The recent drilling has successfully shown the outcropping style of stacked quartz veins occurs throughout the prospect strike length and extends continuously down dip with a vein density averaging up to 10% within the quartzite unit. Additional layer parallel mineralisation remains to be proven which would add to the mineralisation volume.

Cassiterite in drill core
Multiple occurrences of visible fine grained to coarse grain cassiterite have been noted in both the internal portion and margins of the quartz veins and associated with the intense muscovite-tourmaline alteration selvages. Figure 2 shows the variable nature of cassiterite mineralisation and illustrates the nuggety nature of the cassiterite mineralisation from fine to coarse grained.
Cassiterite within the drill core has been logged at the following intervals in drilling.
-
KKDD003 105m
-
KKDD006 87.1m, 87.4m, 96.3m and 132.6m

Drilling programme progress
-
8 holes for 1,353.5m drilled to date.
-
Multiple occurrences of cassiterite observed in drill core.
-
Numerous stacked quartz-muscovite-tourmaline veins.
The 2,000m planned diamond drilling programme is designed to demonstrate the mineralised extents of the Kikagati deposit and provide an indication of the grade potential of the deposit. Clearly the early drilling has confirmed the Tier 1 scale dimensions of the geological host quartzite unit. The grade of the individual veins and the potential of the parallel shear alteration remains to be confirmed.
To date 8 diamond holes have been completed for a total of 1,353.5m and listed in Table 1. Diamond hole, KKDD009 (Figure 1), is currently in progress. Upon completion of drilling and geological logging, samples from the last 3 diamond holes will be dispatched to the laboratory.
Forward Programmes
The remaining planned drilling is centred on completion of the programme at the Kikagati deposit including hole KKDD009, currently in progress, for a proposed 300m. This hole is located on the northern most cross section and will provide the uppermost demonstration of down dip and northern most along strike potential.
Initial assays results are expected from drill holes KKDD001 – KKDD006 in the coming few weeks with samples for KKDD007-009 anticipated to be submitted to the laboratory by the end of March.

Table JORC Code, 2012 Edition
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
• Initial diamond core sampling completed for the first 6 holes and submitted to the laboratory with results pending • Carnavale intends to complete sampling of the next 3 diamond holes on completion of KKDD009 during March. • All drilling and sampling will be undertaken in an industry standard manner. • All core is geologically logged and photographed, HQ and PQ drill core is cut in half, with one half sent to the laboratory for assay and the other half retained on site. • Holes are sampled over potentially mineralised intervals on a nominal 1m basis and down to 0.1m geological boundaries. • Samples are sent to an independent laboratory with the entire sample pulverised and sub-sample analysed. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |

| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
• The samples have been submitted to a commercial independent laboratory in Johannesburg, South Africa. • The techniques are considered quantitative in nature. • As discussed previously certified reference standards will be inserted by the Company and the laboratory also carries out internal standards in individual batches. • The sampling and analytical techniques are considered normal industry practice and suitable for resource estimation. |

| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
• Two drilling inclinations are used: 1) To target lithological boundaries of the mineralised zone. 2) To target the mineralised veins. Both are approximately perpendicular to the bedding planes and quartz veins respectively. • In some cases, drilling is not at right angles to the dip of mineralised structures and as such true widths are less than downhole widths.

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. |
• Kikagati drilling is on ML1430 and EL1380 which are located in the Isingiro District in South-West Uganda. • The licences are 100% owned by African Panther Resources (U) Limited (APRU). • Carnavale has the right to earn 51% of the project by drilling 2,000m of diamond core, with the right to earn up to 70% by sole funding to completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. • All the land associated with the drilling has compensation agreements in place and there are no known land issues. • |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• APRU has completed several pitting programmes to test the colluvial gravels. • No hard-rock drilling has been undertaken on any of the licences prior to Carnavale’s involvement. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• At Kikagati Prospect, the geology is composed of a quartzite sequence over and underlain by phyllites. The sequence has been folded and is east dipping at the drill target. Mineralisation targeted is within a series of west dipping quartz veins where cassiterite occurs within veins and along the altered wall rock on vein boundaries. Additional potential for layer parallel mineralization is interpreted to occur in fine grained units within the quartzite sequence. |
| 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 |
• Drill hole location and directional information is provided in the attached report. |
11
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • 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. |
• Samples results are 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 is not always perpendicular to the dip of mineralisation and true widths are less than downhole widths. Estimates of true widths will only be possible when all results are received, and final geological interpretations have been completed. |
| 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 the 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. |
• All results will be provided upon completion of sampling and results received and assessed. • The report is considered balanced and provided in context. |
| 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 work has been done on the project except as described in the report and previous reports. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further |
