MCB COPPER GOLD PROJECT
==> picture [161 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
EXCITING SHALLOW HIGH-GRADE ZONE DISCOVERED
-
New section of shallow high-grade copper intersected in diamond drill hole MCB-036.
-
Total intersection of 671m @ 0.43% copper and 0.12g/t gold from 19m down hole.*
-
Including internal shallow higher-grade intervals of:
-
122.2m @ 0.92% copper and 0.24g/t gold from 26m.
-
13m 3.69% copper and 0.39g/t gold from 89m.
-
A 5-hole drilling campaign is imminent to further delineate the shallow high-grade extension.
-
This new zone may have a significant positive impact on the mine schedule.
-

SAGAY PORPHYRY COPPER PROJECT
==> picture [175 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
SAGAY PROJECT (NABIGA-A PROSPECT)
-
Sagay is a very large Copper Gold Porphyry system located on the Philippines northern part of Negros Island.
-
CLA believes this could be a massive low grade mine but also has the potential for discrete high grade vertical cores that may extend up dip, like the MCB deposit.
-
Drilling contractor has been appointed for 7 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 4,400 metres.
-
CLA is looking for a partner to help develop the project.

OPUWO COBALT PROJECT
==> picture [396 x 379] intentionally omitted <==
-
Upgraded JORC Compliant Resource[1] estimate comprising 225.5 Mt at 0.12% Co, 0.43% Cu and 0.54% Zn
-
The Minerals Resource estimate represents contained cobalt of 259,000 tonnes contained Co and 970,000 contained Cu, and consists of:
o Indicated: 45.3 Mt at 0.11% Co, 0.44% Cu and 0.51% Zn.
o Inferred: 180.2 Mt at 0.12% Co, 0.43% Cu and 0.55% Zn.

Key feature of Opuwo:
-
+95% of the Minerals Resource is comprised of the fresh sulphide ore type and over 80% of Indicated can be mined via open pit.
-
Mineralised zones are open in all directions with excellent scope for expansion with further drilling.
