  • Company to proceed with shaft rehabilitation and underground drilling program in near future.

  • Company aims to bring the project rapidly into production as a high-grade gold mine.

  • High-grade intercept of 12.3g/t Au over 1m within shallower shear zones confirms open pit development potential.

Southern African focused exploration company Prospect Resources Limited (ASX: PSC) (Prospect, the Company) is pleased to announce it has intersected high grade gold in its recently completed maiden drilling program at the Prestwood Gold Project in Zimbabwe.

The 6 hole-1,281 metre RC drilling program at the historic Prestwood Gold Mine was successful in achieving its two main objectives;

  • Prove the continuity of the historically mined Main Gold Reef, at economic grades along strike and down dip.

  • Identify parallel zones of mineralisation, particularly at the greenstone-monzonite contact, that can be projected to nearsurface, potential targets for open-pit operations.

Highlight Results included; BPC001

  • Primary intercept of Main Reef: 9.23g/t Au over 1m, at 153m (130m vertical). Average grade after three re-assays of 7.86g/t Au

  • Upper Reef: 1.1g/t Au over 1m at 120m

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 28 April 2014

Details of results from the drilling program are summarised in Table 1 (Appendix A).

Outcomes of Prestwood Drill Program

Prospect is delighted with the results of the drill program at the Prestwood Mine, which have helped validate its development plan to bring the project into production as a high grade gold mine in the near term. The Company now plans to proceed quickly with shaft rehabilitation and then underground drilling.

Significant points of note from the drill program are;

  • The program confirms that the mineralised reef continues below the historic gold workings, and five of six holes drilled intersected intact Main Reef down dip of the existing workings, to 195 metres below surface.

  • The Main Reef extends down dip to at least 6 Level (195m vertically), but is seemingly open ended. The Bucks Mine situated some 600m to the west is known to have been worked to at least 9 Level (300m).

  • The Main Reef extends NE of the known workings, with a total strike length of > 75m, open ended to the NE.

  • The Main Reef is highly variable in nature, being largely a shear zone of quartz veinlets and varying amounts of pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, galena and magnetite.

  • The evidence of parallel mineralised zones, particularly the very subtle sheared monzonite contact is very encouraging. This is the same setting as the mineralisation at the producing Farvic Mine 4km to east.

  • The presence of high grade intercepts (12.3g/t over 1m) within the shallower shear zone (that also hosts the Prestwood A mine) is also considered highly significant. They present an ideal target for potential larger disseminated deposits, amenable to open-cast extraction.

Schematic images of cross section of all drill holes are appended to this announcement (Appendix B).

About the Prestwood Gold Mine

The historic Prestwood Gold Mine is located approximately 112km south east of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, and historically produced approximately 499kg of gold (approx. 16,000oz) at 33.1g/t. It is situated within an almost contiguous block of claims covering approximately 25km[2] of the gold bearing Gwanda Greenstone Belt. These claims cover more than nine historic gold mines.

The mine consists of multiple veins in greenstones at or close to the monzonite contact. The Company is of the view that it is particularly prospective as it lies in the same geological setting as the nearby Farvic Gold Mine, located 4km to the east. The significance of minerlisation being intersected at the contact of the greenstones and monzonites cannot be overstated. This minerlisation style is very subtle, supported by the fact there is no surface expression at all at the Farvic Mine. The known monzonite extends for over 5km of strike, within ground held by Prospect.

Figure 1: Prestwood Grid Plan projected over Quick Bird Satellite .

Boreholes BPC001 proved the continuity of the reef, beyond the existing 4 Level workings to the northeast, and BPC003 to BPC006 inclusive demonstrated the down dip continuity of the reef to at least 6 Level (195m vertical depth). BPC002 intersected shear hosted mineralisation, which is likely to have been affected by the geophysically interpreted SE-NW trending shears zone. The monzonite sub-outcrop is shown in blue crosses in Figure 1.

Figure 2: Geological Interpretation Projected over Magnetic Image (Analytical Signal).

The magnetic high areas represent monzonite at, or just under the surface (dark red /purple in Figure 2). The northern third of the area is also thought to be underlain by monzonite, covered with thicker residual soils. The SW-NE shearing which hosts the Bucks, Prestwood and Prestwood B deposits is readily apparent. The more subtle SE-NW direction is also thought to have significance for deposit location.

Prestwood Gold Mine Update

  • Exploration head gear has been erected at the Prestwood shaft and dewatering has been completed to 2 Level.

  • A recently completed ground magnetic survey has identified multiple parallel structures adjacent to the Prestwood Mine. A number of these are being mined artisanally.

  • Shaft rehabilitation is underway and once complete, underground drilling for parallel reefs is planned. Evidence of parallel reefs is supported by the ground magnetic survey completed in January and the existing artisanal surface mining.

Future Plans

The results of the maiden drilling programme have provided Prospect confidence to proceed quickly with shaft rehabilitation at the Prestwood Mine, including re-establishment of mains power. Once rehabilitation is well advanced, in Q2, all lower levels of the mine will be mapped and sampled, and underground drilling to test the extent of the parallel and cross-cutting structures will commence.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 28 April 2014

The Company is confident it will subsequently be possible to quickly bring Prestwood into production as its first high-grade gold mine. There are toll treating possibilities within 25km, which may facilitate near term production, without having to commit capital to building a reduction facility.

The evidence of mineralised parallels, cross shears and the monzonite contact is very exciting, particularly when considered with the geological model that has been refined by ground magentics. Future surface work will consist of Induced Polarisation surveys to define sub-outcropping disseminated halos, followed by a short hole RAB drilling program to identify broader disseminated targets. Tenders are currently being considered for this work.

Figure 3: Positions of Current and Former Producers in the Gwanda Greenstone Belt .

A number of the mines lie at the contact zone of the monzonite intrusions and greenstones, which forms a highly prospective rheological contrast. The known strike extent of the monzonites is almost 6km.

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 (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.
• The
samples

percussion chips generated
from a Super Rock 5000 rig,
using a double tube reverse
circulation technique.
• 3kg Samples were collected
every metre in triplicate, in
addition

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).
• A Superrock 5000 double tube RC rig was
used with a 700cfm Doosan (Ingersoll
Rand) 2013 compressor. 6m rods were
used, and the hole air blasted to allow
sample recovery via a cyclone every 1m.
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.
• Chip samples were bagged directly from the
cyclone, and immediately weighed, then
riffle split.
• Material seems largely homogenous, and
no relationship has been detected between
grain size and assayed grade.
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.

• Chip samples have been geologically logged at
1m intervals, with data recorded in spreadsheet
format using standardized codes. Sample
weight, moisture content, lithologies, texture,
structure, induration, alteration, oxidation and
mineralisation were recorded.
• The work is undertaken according to Prospect
Resources’ standard procedures and practices,
overseen by the CP. Prospect Resources
believes that the level of detail and quality of
the work is appropriate to support the current
and any future exploration.
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.
• Initial screening of samples was undertaken at
the
Farvic
Laboratory,
using
Atomic
Absorption, after DIBK dissolution, with a
lower limit of detection of 0.03ppm. All
samples were however subsequently also
assayed by fire assay, at accredited laboratory,
Antech in KweKwe, Zimbabwe.
• Standards and duplicates as described above
were inserted blind into the batch within the
same numbered sequence, prior to their
submission to Antech.
• Umpire checking is then undertaken at ALS
Johannesburg, another accredited laboratory.

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 licence to
operate in the area
• The Prestwood Project is covered by a
series of extant Mining Claims held under
Farvic Consolidated Mines for Prospect
Resources. The drilling grid lies specifically
within claim numbers ; GA36972 and
GA33269
• These claims have recently been inspected
by
the
local
Department
of
Mines
(Gwanda), and copies of these inspection
certificates are available from Prospect
Resources or the Department on request.
Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties
• No known previous exploration has been
undertaken. Channel chip sampling was
however undertaken at the old
underground workings in the late‘40s. The
results are recorded on surviving mine
plans.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• Steeply dipping shear and vein hosted lode
gold deposits, associated with pyrite,
pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. These
structures lie at the contact between meta-
basalts and monzonite intrusions of the
Gwanda Greenstone Belt, in a similar
fashion to the neighbouring producing
Farvic Mine.
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:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of the
drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o 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.

Dataaggregation
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.
• The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

• A statistically determined cut-off grade
will be applied once a resource is declared
on completion of the programme.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
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’).

• The widths specified are down hole widths,
though the holes were angled to intersect
the main reef approximately
perpendicularly. The dip of the reef was
fairly confidently estimated due to the
proximity of the accessible Prestwood
Main Shaft, and old underground plans.
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.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
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.
• Not applicable, all results 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.
• The drilling grid lies within an
approximately 1.2km x 700m grid that
was mapped in detail, and surveyed by
ground magnetics. This survey was
undertaken by independent consultant
3D
Exploration
of
Gaborone,
Botswana.
• The results correlated well with the 4
year old airborne data, and geological
observations.
Areas
underlain
by
greenstones and monzonites were well
delineated In addition the pervasive
SW-NE shearing, with a more subtle
SE-NW trends were identified.
• The geological setting is very similar to
that at the adjacent Farvic mine, where
Prospect Resource geologists have been
providing technical input for a number
of years.
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

• The company intends to complete the
pumping out of the old Main Shaft, and
then based on these positive results to
begin extending the old 2 – 4 levels. In
addition the shaft will be deepened to
the now-drilled 5 level.
• Further geophysics; IP and ground
penetrating radar is planned in the
vicinity, to target parallel structures,
prior to a shirt hole drilling programme
in Q3.

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 data had been input by
Prospect
Resources
Database
Manager, and verified by the CP.
_• _
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 CP visited the drill numerous
times daily during the programme.
_• _
Geological
interpretation
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
• The geological setting is very similar
to the nearby Farvic Mine, where all
the Prospect Resources Geologists,
including the CP have worked.
• The reefs are formed in shears at the
contact between the greenstones
(metabasalts) and monzonites, due to
rheological contrasts.
• Airborne radiometrics and magnetics,
coupled with the recently completed
ground magnetic survey has seemingly
delineated sub-outcropping areas of
monzonite (magnetic, with high
background radiation) against the
non-magnetic greenstones.
• The best developed ore deposits
appear to be formed at this
lithological contact, where cut by SW-
NE shears, and occasional conjugate
fractures.
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 drilling has increased the known
strike length of the Prestwood Main
Reef to over 75m and equally has
shown that down dip, it is open ended
below 195m depth (theoretical 6
level).
