Celsius doubles mineral resource at Opuwo cobalt-copper project

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Updated Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at Opuwo doubles to 225.5 million tonnes, grading 0.12% cobalt, 0.43% copper and 0.54% zinc.

  • 259,000 tonnes of contained cobalt demonstrates potential for Opuwo to be a significant future supplier of cobalt into the battery market.

  • 970,000 tonnes of contained copper anticipated to enhance the viability of the project given current and forecast copper prices.

  • Mineral Resource update is key part of the technical and commercial re-evaluation of the Company’s Opuwo cobalt-copper project.

Celsius Resources Limited (“Celsius” or the “Company”) (ASX: CLA) is pleased to announce it has revised upwards, by more than double, the Mineral Resource estimate at its Opuwo Cobalt-Copper Project in Namibia.

The updated Mineral Resource estimate is based on all drilling completed by Celsius at Opuwo and comprises 225.5 million tonnes at a grade of 0.12% cobalt, 0.43% copper, and 0.54% zinc (refer Table 1).

The Mineral Resource estimate represents contained cobalt of 259,000 tonnes and contained copper of 970,000 tonnes and is classified as:

  • 45.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.11% cobalt, 0.44% copper and 0.51% zinc in the Indicated category, and a further

  • 180.2 million tonnes at a grade of 0.12% cobalt, 0.43% copper and 0.55% zinc in the Inferred category.

Celsius Chairman Martin Buckingham commented:

“This new JORC Mineral Resource for Celsius Resources’ Opuwo Project demonstrates the scale of this significant asset. With the “next wave” of demand for battery minerals almost upon us, and with cobalt continuing to be a significant component in most battery types, the Opuwo project represents a potential, stable cobalt source from a non-conflict country, which could be globally significant. This deposit’s contained copper of 970,000 tonnes also represents material upside to the projects potential value proposition.

The Company plans to assess ways to advance the project in parallel with our flagship Copper-Gold assets in the Philippines.”

Resource modelling and estimation has been completed by independent consultants, Mining Plus Pty Ltd, and has involved the creation of a comprehensive 3D geological model of the mineralised Dolostone Ore Formation ( DOF unit ), which hosts the Co-Cu-Zn mineralisation at Opuwo.

The Mineral Resource estimate covers a zone of approximately 13.5km length, with mineralisation remaining open in northerly, westerly and easterly directions, and includes the large anticlinal structure of the NW Extension as detailed in the ASX Announcements of 7 January 2019 and 18 March 2019. As a result of the inclusion of this area the new Mineral Resource is almost double the previous Mineral Resource Estimate of 112.4 million tonnes at 0.11% Co, 0.41% Cu and 0.43% Zn (Indicated and Inferred categories; refer ASX Announcements 16 April 2018 and 13 June 2018).

The DOF unit has been traced in drilling and outcrop for over 15km with a key aspect of the DOF-hosted mineralisation being its extensive continuity and the consistency of mineralisation along strike and to depth.

To satisfy the Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE) criteria under the JORC code, preliminary evaluation of open pit and underground mining scenarios, including pit optimisation runs, have been completed to derive appropriate cut-off grades for mineralisation. At shallow depths the deposit can be exploited by open pit methods, however at depth, underground mining methods are required, resulting in two different cut-offs being applied based on which mining method is being used as detailed in Table 1.

Cobalt equivalent values (Coeq) were used solely to provide a guide to the cut-off grade for the resource and were calculated using the formula:

Coeq = (Cobalt% x Cobalt Recovery) + ((Copper% x Copper Recovery x (Copper$/Cobalt$)) + ( Zinc% x Zinc Recovery x (Zinc$/Cobalt$))

The prices applied in the cobalt equivalent calculations above and for open pit and underground cut-off grade calculations are based upon the LME spot price on the 31[st] May 2021 (Copper: US$10,159/t; Cobalt: US$45,200/t; Zinc: US$3,054/t).

SUMMARY OF RESOURCE ESTIMATE AND REPORTING CRITERIA

(for further information please refer to Appendix 2, Sections 1-3)

Geology and Geological Interpretation

Mineralisation at Opuwo is hosted in the Neoproterozoic sediments of the Kaoko Belt, which is interpreted as a western extension of the Copper Belt in the DRC and Zambia. The Dolostone Ore Formation ( DOF unit ) is a carbonaceous, marly dolomitic horizon in the upper part of a sequence of clastic and carbonate lithologies in the Ombombo Subgroup.

The carbon-rich nature of the ore bearing horizon might have facilitated the precipitation of the metals of interest as cobalt, copper and zinc sulphides. However, the DOF is central to a several kilometres thick sedimentary sequence with widespread carbonaceous horizons in the foot wall and hanging wall without base metal anomalism.

Cobalt, copper and zinc sulphide mineralisation is present predominantly as linnaeite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite respectively. Zones of oxidised and partially oxidised mineralisation occur in the upper portion of the deposit.

Lithological and geochemical data obtained from the drillholes reveal excellent continuity along strike and down dip, both in terms of geology and grade.

The mineralised DOF unit was wireframed as a solid, with the aid of drilling, geological logging and grade data. Geological logging and assay data was used to define surfaces to divide the model up into fresh, transition and oxide ore types.

Drilling Techniques and Statistics

The Mineral Resource estimate utilises data from 269 drillholes for 48,000 meters of drilling completed between March, 2017 and March, 2019, covering a zone of approximately 13.5 km. Ninety-six (96) holes were drilled using the Diamond Core (DC) drilling technique and one hundred (173) holes were drilled using the Reverse Circulation (RC) method. DC drilling was done using a standard tube, at HQ and NQ size. DC was oriented using a Reflex EZ-TRAC tool.

During the resource definition phase of drilling, most of the holes were angled at 55 degrees, to intersect the mineralised unit as close as practicable to perpendicular. The majority of the modelled area was drilled on a nominal 200 metres by 100 metres grid, with approximately 3km strike of the eastern part of the area drilled at 400 meters by 100 meters.

All drillholes have been surveyed using differential GPS, and where possible, holes were surveyed for deviation using a down hole gyroscope. These tasks were undertaken by an external geophysical contractor.

Sampling and Sub-Sampling Techniques

Sampling was undertaken at one metre intervals for Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and was based on lithology/mineralisation changes for Diamond Core (DC). RC samples were collected from a cyclone 3-tier riffle splitter. Each metre sample was divided into an A (for submission to the laboratory), B (reference sample), and C (large remainder sample). Chips were logged and a small sample of approximately 100 g was collected for immediate portable XRF analysis on-site, to assist in determining mineralised zones. The size of the RC samples submitted to the laboratory was typically between 2 and 3 kg.

Diamond Core was sampled according to lithologies, over a length between 20 cm and 100 cm for the NQ or HQ drill core, as half core samples. Diamond Core was cut using a core saw. Generally, half core was submitted to the laboratory, except where a duplicate sample was taken, in which case quarter core was submitted for each of the original and duplicate samples. Field duplicates were collected and analysed to confirm sampling from both RC and DC drilling was representative.

Sample Analysis Method

Samples were regularly transported to Activation Laboratories Limited (Actlabs) in Windhoek and submitted by designated company personnel. Preparation at Actlabs consisted of drying, splitting and pulverising. Once prepared, pulp samples were air freighted to ACTLABS in Ancaster, Canada, for digestion and analysis. A 4-acid digestion sample preparation method and ICP-MS/OES finish were utilised. This digestion method acts as a near complete digest for many elements. Samples were routinely assayed for 36 elements, namely Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hg, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Te, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn and Zr.

The drilling program included field duplicates, standards and blanks that were inserted into the drill sequence, in addition to the standard QA/QC samples and procedures used by the laboratory. A review of the QA/QC program concluded that the data set was acceptable for the purpose of resource estimation.

Estimation Methodology

Grade estimation for Cu%, Co% and Zn% has been completed using Ordinary Kriging (OK) into the mineralised wireframes using Geovia Surpac software version 6.8.

Datamine Supervisor software was used to analyse the variography within each of the 9 structural blocks for Co, Cu and Zn individually. This revealed spatial anisotropy for all elements along strike for 500m and down-dip for 300m. Top cutting analysis was completed and it was determined that there were not significant extreme grades that required grade cutting.

Only composites occurring within each of the wireframed structural blocks were allowed to inform that block’s estimate. ie a hard boundary was applied for each block. Downhole compositing has been undertaken within these domain boundaries at 1m intervals.

Whilst bivariate statistics were calculated, all metals were estimated individually. A bulk density of 2.9 was used for the fresh and transition ore types, and 2.65 was used for the oxide ore type. Values were determined from routine SG testing of ore and surrounding zones during the drilling program.

Classification Criteria

The Mineral Resource for the Opuwo Copper Cobalt Deposit has been classified as Indicated and Inferred based on geological understanding, data quality, sample spacing and geostatistical analysis.

The Mineral Resource classification was completed by weighting key contributors of the estimate including, confidence in drillholes / wireframe location, number of contributing samples, the estimate pass, the number of contributing drillholes, Kriging Variance (KV), Kriging Efficiency (KE), and the Regression Slope (RS), to produce a Weighted Resource Category Score (WRCS).

Item / Weight 1 2 3
Drillhole Confidence High Medium Low
Pass 1/3 var range 2/3 var range 3/3 var range
Sample Numbers 24-32 16-23 1 – 15
Contributing Drillholes 7 4 1
KV <0.2 0.2 to 0.4 >0.4
KE >=0.7 0.3 to 0.5 <=0.3
RS >=0.7 0.2 to 0.6 <=0.2

All relevant factors have been taken into account for the estimation, and the geological model was reviewed by the site geologists and the Chief Geologist. Sections were generated and submitted to all technical staff for review. The results appropriately reflect the Competent Persons’ view of the Opuwo deposit.

Cut-off Grade and RPEEE

For the reporting of the Mineral Resource Estimate a Cobalt equivalent (CoEq) grade was estimated and applied to the Mineral Resource. For the open pit Mineral Resource a cut-off grade of 600ppm CoEq was applied within a Whittle Pit shell. For the Underground portion of the Mineral Resource a calculated cut-off grade of 1550ppm CoEq was applied.

The Whittle pit optimisation has been run in order to generate a pit shell wireframe for the reporting of open pit resources. For underground resources a cut-off grade has been calculated based on expected mining and development costs as well as typical dilution in mining of this nature.

Costs have been estimated using a database of costs for similar mining operations within Africa.

Metal prices for the cut-off grade calculations were the same prices used in the CoEq grade calculation. These were the LME spot metal prices as at the 31st of May 2021:

  • Copper: US$10,159/t;

  • Cobalt: US$45,200/t;

  • Zinc: US$3,054/t

Metallurgical and Mining Factors

Significant metallurgical test work has been completed on mineralisation from the Opuwo Project as summarised in the ASX Announcement of 5 November 2018. Good to excellent recovery of cobalt, copper and zinc sulphides has been demonstrated using conventional flotation techniques as detailed in that announcement. Leach extraction test work on Opuwo sulphide concentrates has demonstrated high leach extractions of approximately 95% for the metals of interest, into a sulphuric acid medium, under relatively low pressure and temperature conditions. All work to date has been completed on fresh, unweathered mineralisation, which is the dominant ore type in the Mineral Resource, with preliminary test work also completed on the minor oxide and transition ore types.

It is anticipated that the deposit can be extracted in part by open pit methods where the mineralised DOF occurs at relatively shallow depths. At deeper elevations, it is expected that the orebody can be extracted by methods such as sub level open stoping, due to the ideal dip of the orebody and the widths of the mineralised zone. A mining study was undertaken as part of the Project Scoping Study and further detailed studies will be carried out in a future Pre-Feasibility Study to be re-commenced when the Board deems that the outlook for cobalt and copper prices are at a level which supports this expenditure.

ABOUT THE OPUWO COBALT PROJECT

Celsius is aiming to define a long life, reliable source of cobalt at Opuwo.

==> picture [340 x 337] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4. Location of the Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia

The Company considers the Project to have the following advantages:

  • Large scale and consistency.

  • Favourable simple mineralogy: cobalt and copper sulphide minerals.

  • Low in deleterious elements: notably arsenic, cadmium and uranium.

  • Mining friendly, politically stable, and safe location with excellent infrastructure.

  • Cobalt: exposure to lithium-ion battery boom.

The Opuwo Cobalt Project is located in north-western Namibia, approximately 800 km by road from the capital Windhoek, and approximately 750 km from the port at Walvis Bay (Figure 4). The Project has excellent infrastructure, with the regional capital of Opuwo approximately 30 km to the south, where services such as accommodation, fuel, supplies, and an airport and hospital are available. Good quality bitumen roads connect Opuwo to Windhoek and Walvis Bay. The Ruacana hydro power station (320 MW), which supplies the majority of Namibia’s power, is located nearby, and a 66 kV transmission line passes through the eastern boundary of the Project.

The Opuwo Project consists of three Exclusive Prospecting Licences covering approximately 1,094 km[2] .

Appendix 2

The following tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012) requirements for the reporting of Exploration Results and Mineral Resources for the Opuwo Cobalt Project

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 (eg 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 (eg ‘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 (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
 Drilling was designed to intersect the DOF horizon
based on mapped or interpreted location.
 Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Core (DC)
drilling using standard equipment.
 Sampling was undertaken at one metre intervals for
RC and based on lithology/mineralisation changes for
DC.
 Reverse Circulation samples were collected by
cyclone 3-tier riffle splitter. Each meter sample
was divided into an A (for submission to the
laboratory), B (reference sample), and C (large
remainder sample). Chips were logged and a
small sample of about 100 g was collected for
immediate portable XRF analysis on-site. RC
samples ranged between 2-3 kg.
 Drill Core was sampled according to lithologies
over a length between 20 cm and 100 cm for the
NQ or HQ drill core, as half core samples.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).
 Reverse circulation (RC) percussion and oriented
Diamond Core (DC).
 DC drilling was done using a standard tube, at HQ
and NQ size.
 DC was oriented using a Reflex EZ-TRAC tool.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
 Sample recovery was generally recorded as good,
with poor recovery in a small number of samples due
to groundwater in fault zones or karstic cavities.
 All drilling was supervised by a suitably qualified
geologist, trained to monitor sample representivity,
including evenness of samples being collected from
the RC rig, and routine cleaning/flushing of the
cyclone on the drill rig.
 No relationship exists between sample recovery and
grade.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Logging Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
 Drilling logged in detail on a metre by metre basis for
RC and on lithology/mineralisation for Diamond
Core.
 Lithology, alteration and oxidation logged
qualitatively.
 Sulphide and quartz vein content logged
quantitatively.
 All Diamond Core holes are photographed, and a
representative record of RC samples are placed in
chip trays.
 A Niton portable XRF analyser was used to assist in
determining mineralised horizons.
 All chips/core intervals were logged for rock type,
colour, alteration, mineralisation style, core
recoveries, and any measurable structures were
recorded.
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.
 RC drill samples were split using a rig mounted riffle
splitter below the cyclone;
 Diamond Core (DC) was cut using a core saw.
Generally, half core was submitted to the laboratory,
except where a duplicate sample was taken, in which
case quarter core was submitted for each;
 Field duplicates were collected and analysed to
confirm the representivity of sampling from both RC
and DC drilling;
 Sample size is deemed appropriate for 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 (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
 Samples were prepared at Activation Laboratories
Limited (ACTLABS) Windhoek laboratory, and
assayed at ACTLABS in Ancaster, Canada. A 4 acid
digestion sample preparation method and ICP finish
were utilised.
 No geophysical tools were used to determine any
element concentration in these results.
 A Niton hand held XRF analyser was used to assist in
the selection of samples to be sent to the laboratory
for formal analysis (No portable XRF data was
reported or used in resource estimation).
 The drilling program included field duplicates,
standards and blanks that were inserted into the drill
sequence, in addition to the standard QA/QC
samples and procedures used by the laboratory.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
 Field duplicates, blanks and standards were
submitted in approximately a 1:20 ratio.
 A second (umpire) laboratory was utilised to provide
additional verification of key mineralised zones prior
to resource modelling and estimation.
 One of the field inserted standards occasionally
reported marginally outside acceptable tolerances
for cobalt analysis, however, after subsequent
enquiries with the laboratory regarding the sample
digestion methods, and considering analysis by an
additional laboratory, the data was deemed to be
acceptable.
 The field and laboratory duplicates revealed good
repeatability.
 The field inserted blanks generally confirmed
appropriate sample hygiene techniques were
employed by the laboratory.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
 Mineralised zones reported in assays correspond
well with the zones as logged in the field, and the
tenor of grades is consistent with previous drilling
and surface sampling.
 Several RC/DC twin holes have been completed, and
do not show any systematic bias towards one drilling
method or another. Further twin holes will be
completed as part of future drilling programs.
 An electronic database containing collars, geological
logging and assays is maintained by consultants
external to the Company. Data is collected in Excel
spreadsheets in the field, and then loaded and
validated by the Company’s external database
managers. Validation of assay data against field
logging and mineralised zones determined in the
field using a portable XRF is undertaken, prior to
reporting.
 No adjustment to assay data has been made.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
 All sampling located initially by hand held GPS;
 UTM grid WGS84 Zone 33 (South);
 Holes have been surveyed using Differential GPS
(DGPS) prior to resource modelling;
 Downhole surveys to measure hole deviation were
routinely completed.
Data
spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
 Drill spacing in the initial phase of drilling was
approximately every 500 – 1,000 meters along the
strike of the DOF horizon (based on
mapping/interpretation).
 Current closer spaced drilling was completed on a
nominal 200 metres x 100 metres grid.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
 The average sample spacing and its distribution is
sufficient to adequately delineate geological and
grade continuity.
 Actual sample spacing in three-dimensional space
has a mean of 75m which is appropriate for Mineral
Resource estimation.
 Samples were composited at 1 metre intervals within
the modelled wireframe only.
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.
 Drilling of angled holes aimed to test approximately
perpendicular to DOF horizon. All resource definition
drillholes were angled at 55 degrees, which, based
on visual observations in the drill core, usually
intersects the mineralisation approximately
perpendicular.
 Drilling, and geological modelling, has more
accurately defined the orientation of the geological
features and mineralisation and has not introduced a
sampling bias.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
 Drill samples were delivered to the laboratory by
senior Celsius Resources or Gecko Namibia staff.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
 A review of drilling methods and sampling
procedures has been undertaken by the Company’s
external Resource Geologists.
 No significant issues were identified.

 Collision of Kalahari and Congo Craton 550 Ma
(Alkmim et al. 2001)
 Peak metamorphism 530 Ma.
 Mineralisation at Opuwo is hosted in the
Neoproterozoic sediments of the Kaoko Belt, which is
interpreted as a western extension of the Copper
Belt in the DRC and Zambia.
 The Dolostone Ore Formation (DOF) is a carbon rich,
marly dolomitic horizon in a sequence of clastic and
carbonate lithologies in the upper Ombombo
Subgroup. The carbon rich nature of the ore bearing
horizon is interpreted to have facilitated the
precipitation of the metals of interest, namely cobalt,
copper and zinc.
 Cobalt, copper and zinc sulphide mineralisation is
present predominantly as linnaeite, chalcopyrite and
sphalerite respectively. Minor zones of oxidised and
partially oxidised mineralisation occur in the upper
portion of the deposit.
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

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.
 All information detailed in Appendix 1. Drillholes
have been accurately surveyed using DGPS for
resource modelling.
 Drillhole results have previously been released in ASX

Data
aggregatio
n methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg 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.
 Simple length weighted averages were used for
reporting of significant intercepts. Significant
intercepts were reported using a cutoff grade of
0.05% (or 500 ppm) cobalt.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
Relationshi
p between
mineralisati
on 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 (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
 Orientation of drilling vs. dip of DOF horizon means
that the downhole lengths reported for angled holes
(-55 degrees) approximates true width. Holes drilled
vertical (-90 degrees) overestimated true thickness in
most cases.
 Oriented drillholes were used in modelling the
mineralised zone in 3D space, thereby modelling the
true thickness (width) of the zone.
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.
 See relevant diagrams in the body of this
announcement.
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 drillholes have been reported.
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.
 Geophysical and geological datasets detailed in
previous releases.
 Aeromagnetic data is used as a guide to determining
the presence and location of the mineralised horizon
where it is not outcropping.
Further
work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
 Closer spaced drilling will be undertaken at the DOF
Prospect, with the aim of progressing the deposit to
higher confidence categories of Mineral Resources.
Extensional drilling, both laterally and at depth, will
be undertaken, with the aim of increasing the size of
the Mineral Resource.
 Exploration on other parts of the Project will
comprise geophysical surveys and surface sampling
to define targets for further drilling.
 Figure 2, in this announcement, illustrates where
extensions may be likely, immediately adjacent to
the Mineral Resource.

SECTION 3 ESTIMATION AND REPORTING OF MINERAL RESOURCES

(Criteria listed in section 1, and where relevant in section 2, also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Database
integrity
Measures taken to ensure that data has
not been corrupted by, for example,
transcription or keying errors, between
its initial collection and its use for
Mineral Resource estimation purposes.
Data validation procedures used.
 All drill hole data was imported into an MS Access
database, linked to Dassault Geovia Surpac and
visually inspected for errors.
 The database was audited using Surpac’s internal
validation tools to check the sample intervals for
overlaps. Collar positions were checked versus in
field survey pick up records. Down hole survey and
geology data were compared to drilling logs. Minor
errors have been corrected.
Site visits Comment on any site visits undertaken
by the Competent Person and the
outcome of those visits.
If no site visits have been undertaken
indicate why this is the case.
 The Competent Person, Mr. Kerry Griffin, has not
visited the site due to the restrictions on international
travel because of Covid –19.
 Detailed technical discussions have been held with the
site supervising geologists and management.
Geological
interpretati
on
Confidence in (or conversely, the
uncertainty of) the geological
interpretation of the mineral deposit.
Nature of the data used and of any
assumptions made.
The effect, if any, of alternative
interpretations on Mineral Resource
estimation.
The use of geology in guiding and
controlling Mineral Resource
estimation.
The factors affecting continuity both of
grade and geology.
 Confidence in the geological interpretation is
considered to be moderate to high. Staff that
supervised and collected field data have a high level
of understanding of the deposit geology.
 The lithological logging and grade values obtained
from the drillholes show good continuity of both
geology and grade along strike and down dip.
 Faulting that defines significant structural blocks
were modelled in three dimensions using the
interpreted surface expressions of the fault traces
and drill hole intercepts of the faults and inferred
projection downward to encapsulate all of the
mineralised zones.
 The mineralised DOF and WDOF was wireframed as a
solid by coding the MIN (Mineralised) and NONMIN
(non mineralised) drill hole intercepts within the
database and modelling these zones within Leapfrog
geo software. This wireframe has been sliced into
the different structural blocks created by the fault
model and then used to code and constrain data
during the block model estimation. Only composites
occurring within the modelled wireframe and
individual fault blocks were used to estimate the
block model within each mineralised fault block
zone.
 The mineralised wireframes were also used to create
a dip/dip direction model within Datamine Studio
RM for use in directing the estimation search
ellipses.

Dimensions The extent and variability of the Mineral
Resource expressed as length (along
strike or otherwise), plan width, and
depth below surface to the upper and
lower limits of the Mineral Resource.
 The outcrop of the stratigraphy that hosts the
mineralisation has been mapped extensively and this
was utilised in the modelling of the mineralisation
along strike for approximately 15 km, which is the
extent of the drilling.
 The mineralisation has been modelled in wireframes
from surface to down-dip up to 1.5km.
 The true mineralised thickness ranges from 2m to
25m – this was determined by cutting sections
through the mineralisation wireframes at various
places and measuring the thickness perpendicular to
the average mineralisation dip.
Estimation
and
modelling
techniques
The nature and appropriateness of the
estimation technique(s) applied and key
assumptions, including treatment of
extreme grade values, domaining,
interpolation parameters and maximum
distance of extrapolation from data
points. If a computer assisted
estimation method was chosen include
a description of computer software and
parameters used.
The availability of check estimates,
previous estimates and/or mine
production records and whether the
Mineral Resource estimate takes
appropriate account of such data.
The assumptions made regarding
recovery of by-products.
Estimation of deleterious elements or
other non-grade variables of economic
significance (eg sulphur for acid mine
drainage characterisation).
In the case of block model interpolation,
the block size in relation to the average
sample spacing and the search
employed.
Any assumptions behind modelling of
selective mining units.
Any assumptions about correlation
between variables.
Description of how the geological
interpretation was used to control the
resource estimates.
Discussion of basis for using or not using
grade cutting or capping.
The process of validation, the checking
process used, the comparison of model
data to drill hole data, and use of
reconciliation data if available.
 Grade estimation for Cu%, Co% and Zn% has been
completed using Ordinary Kriging (OK) into the
Mineralised wireframe using Geovia Surpac software
version 6.8 .
 Top cutting analysis was completed and it has been
determined that there were no significant extreme
grades that required grade cutting.
 Datamine Supervisor software was used to analyse
the variography within each of the 9 structural blocks
for Co, Cu and Zn individually. This revealed spatial
anisotropy for all elements along strike for 500m and
down-dip for 300m.
 Only composites within each of the wireframed
structural blocks were allowed to inform that block’s
estimate. ie a hard boundary was applied for each
block. Downhole compositing has been undertaken
within these domain boundaries at 1m intervals.
 No assumptions have been made regarding recovery
of any by-products nor were there any deleterious
elements estimated.
 The drillhole data spacing ranges from 200m by
100m to 400m by 100m resource definition drillhole
spacing.
 The block model parent block size is 10 m (X) by 5 m
(Y) by 2 m (Z), which is considered appropriate for
the dominant drillhole spacing. A sub-block size of 5
m (X) by 1.25 m (Y) by 1.0 m (Z) has been used to
allow the estimate to fill the mineralisation edges.
The grade estimation is completed at the parent
block scale.
 The Mineral Resource estimate has been validated
using visual validation tools such as sectional and
plan views within surpac comparing the drill holes
with the modelled blocks, and volume comparisons
with each blocks wireframes, mean grade
comparisons between the block model and
composite grade means. Swath plots comparing the
composite grades and block model grades by
Northing, Easting and RL have also been evaluated.

Cut-off
parameters
The basis of the adopted cut-off
grade(s) or quality parameters applied.
 For the reporting of the Mineral Resource Estimate a
cut-off grade of 600ppm Coeq was applied within a
Whittle Pit shell. For the Underground portion of the
resource a bench mark cut off grade of 1550ppm
Coeq was applied.
Mining
factors or
assumption
s
Assumptions made regarding possible
mining methods, minimum mining
dimensions and internal (or, if
applicable, external) mining dilution. It
is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable
prospects for eventual economic
extraction to consider potential mining
methods, but the assumptions made
regarding mining methods and
parameters when estimating Mineral
Resources may not always be rigorous.
Where this is the case, this should be
reported with an explanation of the
basis of the mining assumptions made.
 A Whittle pit optimisation has been run in order to
generate a pit shell wireframe for the reporting of
open pitable resources. For underground resources
a cut off grade has been calculated based on
expected mining and development costs as well as
standard dilution in mining of this nature. Costs have
been estimated using a database of costs for similar
mining operations within Africa.
Metallurgic
al factors or
assumption
s
The basis for assumptions or predictions
regarding metallurgical amenability. It
is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable
prospects for eventual economic
extraction to consider potential
metallurgical methods, but the
assumptions regarding metallurgical
treatment processes and parameters
made when reporting Mineral
Resources may not always be rigorous.
Where this is the case, this should be
reported with an explanation of the
basis of the metallurgical assumptions
made.
 Significant metallurgical test work has been
completed on mineralisation from the Opuwo
Project. Good to excellent recovery of cobalt, copper
and zinc sulphides has been demonstrated using
conventional flotation techniques. Leach extraction
test work on Opuwo sulphide concentrates has
demonstrated high leach extractions of
approximately 95% for the metals of interest, into a
sulphuric acid medium, under relatively low pressure
and temperature conditions. All work to date has
been completed on fresh, unweathered
mineralisation, which is the dominant ore type in the
Mineral Resource, with test work currently underway
on the minor oxide and transition ore types.

waste and process residue disposal
options. It is always necessary as part of
the process of determining reasonable
prospects for eventual economic

Density
Whether assumed or determined. If
assumed, the basis for the assumptions.
If determined, the method used,
whether wet or dry, the frequency of the
measurements, the nature, size and
representativeness of the samples.
The bulk density for bulk material must
have been measured by methods that
adequately account for void spaces
(vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and
differences between rock and alteration
zones within the deposit.
Discuss assumptions for bulk density
estimates used in the evaluation process
of the different materials.
 Initial tests to compare Bulk Density and Specific
Gravity of the typical core samples revealed identical
values due to the very low porosity of the
mineralised rocks.
 Specific Gravity was systematically measured on core
from the mineralised zones. Wet core samples of a
length between 15cm and 50cm were used.
 Bulk density was estimated into the block model
using the same parameters as Co.
Classificatio
n
The basis for the classification of the
Mineral Resources into varying
confidence categories.
Whether appropriate account has been
taken of all relevant factors (ie relative
confidence in tonnage/grade
estimations, reliability of input data,
confidence in continuity of geology and
metal values, quality, quantity and
distribution of the data).
Whether the result appropriately
reflects the Competent Person’s view of
the deposit.
 The resource for the Opuwo Copper Cobalt Deposit
has been classified as Indicated and inferred based
on geological understanding, data quality, sample
spacing and geostatistical analysis.
 The Mineral Resource classification has been
completed by weighting key parts of the estimate
including, confidence in drillholes / wireframe
location, number of contributing samples, the
estimate pass, the number of contributing drillholes,
Kriging Variance (KV), Kriging Efficiency (KE), and the
Regression Slope (RS), to produce a Weighted
Resource Category Score (WRCS).

mineralised zones is based on a good geological
understanding producing a robust model of
mineralised domains. This model has been confirmed
by infill and extensional drilling which supported the
interpretation.
 The resource estimate appropriately reflects the
view of the Competent Person, that the data quality
and validation criteria, as well as the resource
methodology and check procedures, are reliable and
consistent with criteria as defined by the JORC Code.

Discussion
of relative
accuracy/
confidence
Where appropriate a statement of the
relative accuracy and confidence level in
the Mineral Resource estimate using an
approach or procedure deemed
appropriate by the Competent Person.
For example, the application of
statistical or geostatistical procedures
to quantify the relative accuracy of the
resource within stated confidence limits,
or, if such an approach is not deemed
appropriate, a qualitative discussion of
the factors that could affect the relative
accuracy and confidence of the
estimate.
The statement should specify whether it
relates to global or local estimates, and,
if local, state the relevant tonnages,
which should be relevant to technical
and economic evaluation.
Documentation should include
assumptions made and the procedures
used.
These statements of relative accuracy
and confidence of the estimate should
be compared with production data,
where available.
 The mineralisation geometry and continuity has been
adequately interpreted to reflect the level of
Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.
 The data quality is considered very good and all drill
holes have detailed logs produced by qualified
geologists. An independent recognised laboratory
has been used for all analyses.
 The Mineral Resource statement relates to global
estimates of tonnes and grade.
 The deposit is not currently being mined, nor has it
ever been mined, therefore there is no reconciliation
data available for comparison.
