Quarterly Activities Report Period Ended 31 March 2017

  • More high grade copper discovered at Rockface in the Jervois Project o confirmed at depth and in new zone to the east

  • Share Purchase Plan raised $2.48M from shareholders for further exploration

  • Jervois Project area expanded with acquisition of highly prospective adjoining tenement

  • Jervois awarded Major Project status by NT Government

Overview

During the quarter, KGL Resources Limited (ASX:KGL) (KGL or the Company) achieved further exploration success at the Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project. At the Rockface prospect, wide high grade copper intersections confirmed increased mineralisation at depth and between previous discoveries, while more high-grade copper was intersected at newly discovered zones to the east.

A Share Purchase Plan offered to KGL shareholders raised $2.48 million for further exploration. Following KGL’s continuing success with the modern exploration technology, down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying, a further nine-hole drilling program was commenced, with immediate positive results.

KGL almost trebled the Jervois Project area by acquiring the neighbouring tenement. Limited previous exploration has indicated the area is highly prospective and includes a northern strike extension from the established Marshall-Reward deposits. A $1 million share placement funded the $500,000 acquisition and future exploration on the tenement.

As KGL continued to pursue the strategy of upgrading Jervois to one of the world’s lowest cost projects as a precondition to development, the Northern Territory Government awarded Major Project status to Jervois to facilitate approval processes in acknowledgement of the project’s significance.

Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project, Northern Territory (KGL 100%)

During the quarter, results were announced for three holes drilled at Rockface in response to the continuing process of DHEM surveying. The assay results for two confirmed further high grade copper mineralisation – one (KJCD201) at the greatest depth so far as the trend of grade increasing with depth continued, and the second (KJCD203) indicating broad high grade mineralisation between two previous high grade discoveries. The third (KJCD205) discovered high grade copper in the eastern zones that were located by DHEM surveying.

KJCD201 intersected high grade mineralisation associated with the DHEM-identified Conductor 5, assaying:

10.05m @ 8.99% Cu, 45.5g/t Ag, 0.6g/t Au from 645.65 m. (ETW 7.5m)

The interval was predominantly massive and semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite in an intensely magnetite altered host rock.

KJCD203 targeted Conductors 2, 3 and 4 in a 105m zone that lies between two previous high grade copper intersections by holes KJCD183 and KJCD195. KJCD203 assays include:

28m @ 5.08% Cu, 22.4g/t Ag, 0.22g/t Au from 435 m (ETW 23.2m)

including 14m @ 8.89% Cu, 38.5g/t Ag, 0.38g/t Au from 436 m (ETW 11.6m)

This interval was also predominantly massive and semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite in an intensely magnetite altered host rock.

KJCD205 was the first hole in a nine-hole 2017 drilling program designed to investigate the high potential conductor zones to the east, and also to facilitate with systematic infill drilling an updated JORC statement of resources.

A zone of 17.5m of massive/semi-massive chalcopyrite/ pyrite in a strongly altered magnetite host rock was intersected from 512.2m. This mineralised intersection correlates well with the modelled position of DHEM Conductor 6.

A second moderately mineralised zone of 6m was intersected from 535.8m. Disseminated chalcopyrite/ pyrite in this interval is hosted within a strongly altered garnet-magnetite zone and is close to the modelled position of Conductor 7.

Share Purchase Plan

During the quarter, the Company raised $2.48 million in a capital raising by way of a Share Purchase Plan which offered shareholders the opportunity to increase their holdings in KGL. Shareholders were invited to purchase KGL shares at 27 cents per share up to a total investment of $15,000. The proceeds are being used for further exploration at Jervois; the ninehole drilling program that commenced in early March at Rockface is designed to extend known high grade mineralisation discovered by successful electromagnetic surveying and drilling over the previous 18 months, and to support a resource upgrade.

Acquisition of neighbouring tenement

KGL expanded the Jervois project area with the acquisition of the adjoining tenement, known as the Unka Creek Exploration Project (EL28082), for a consideration of $500,000 cash. A $1 million share placement, made at 37 cents per share to four parties including KGL’s major shareholder KMP Investments, funded the acquisition and future exploration on the tenement. The acquisition is contingent on the transfer of the tenement to KGL by the Northern Territory Government and the funds are being held in escrow until this condition precedent is satisfied.

The acquisition almost trebles the project area from 37.9km[2] to 110.8km[2] and provides KGL with significant strategic value, having geological similarities to Jervois and being located in the highly prospective Bonya Metamorphics.

While the area is relatively under-explored, it offers multiple walk-up drill targets. Work undertaken by previous tenement holders has demonstrated the exploration potential. This includes the northern strike extension of the sequence of rocks that host the Marshall-Reward deposits that represent a substantial part of the current Resource at Jervois. Copper can be observed in outcrop and drilling has intersected mineralisation at several locations. The twokilometre strike extension has the potential to host economic mineralisation that can be mined by open pit or underground mining methods. There is further potential in the southern area of EL28082.

Jervois awarded Major Project status by Northern Territory Government

In March, the Northern Territory Government awarded Major Project status to the Jervois Project. In a joint announcement of the Project Facilitation Agreement (PFA) between the Government and the Company, the Northern Territory Minister for Primary Industry and Resources, the Hon Ken Vowles MLA, said that the Government recognised the significance and potential that the project could provide for the Northern Territory.

The PFA requires the Government and the Company to work together to progress the project through the required approvals processes.

Outlook

The nine-hole drilling program at Rockface will continue during the current quarter, the drill targets guided by the results of the DHEM surveys, with the aim of bringing Rockface into a Resource update at Jervois.
