On 25 March 2021, the Company announced that it had engaged drilling contractor Ferrodrill Namibia for a ~750m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the high-grade Khusib Springs copper-silver deposit[1] . This drilling program has now been extended to include the historic Nosib Block copper-vanadium mine.

The Nosib Block mine was a high-grade copper-vanadium mine located at the western end of EPL3543 16km west of Khusib Springs (Figure 1). Copper mineralisation was discovered at Nosib in 1915 and mined from 1917 to 1920. The historic No 2 shaft was mined on three levels to a depth of 120m. Golden Deeps geologists accessed the three levels of the mine. The high-grade copper-silver-vanadium-lead mineralisation dips moderately to the north and is hosted by conglomerate and sandstone (mine sequence) in contact with dolomite to the north and basement granite to the south. The mineralisation shows good continuity and remains insitu.

Underground sampling was conducted by Golden Deeps along the drives. Best channel results include:

NOUG0001 6m at 9.3% Cu, 4.72% Pb, 7.92% Ag[2] NOUG0005 6m at 1.51% Cu, 10.59% Pb, 7.15% Ag, 1.12% V2O5[2]

The drill program at Nosib Block will comprise 11 RC holes on three drill traverses for a total meterage of ~650m at Shaft 1 and 2 (Figure 2-3). Drilling will test copper mineralisation on the contact zone but will also test for mineralisation in the footwall sandstone where mineralisation was mapped along an exploratory underground drive that extends to the south for 50m.

Drilling is planned to commence in April 2021 at both Khusib Springs and Nosib Block, but may be delayed if recent heavy rain in the Otavi Mountainland continues beyond the normal conclusion of the wet season.

This announcement was authorised for release by the Board of Directors.
