As previously announced, we intend to release our maiden JORC reportable Mineral Resource Estimate by 31 October ‐ some 4 and a half months since acquiring the project. Our team really does need to be applauded for their efforts.

The Company is on track to complete its maiden JORC reportable Mineral Resource Estimate by 31 October and scoping study by 31 December in anticipation of commencement of mining by 30 June 2017.

Arcadia High Grade Lithium Project

Activities during the quarter included:

  • Diamond drilling

  • RC drilling

  • Process Plant design

  • Resource modelling

  • Environmental approvals

  • Metallurgical testing

  • Acquisition of additional Mining Licences/claims

  • Camp upgrades.

The Company’s maiden JORC reportable Mineral Resource is expected to be released on Monday 31 October. Within this document will be a detailed description of the project.

Gwanda East Gold Project ,

Development of the Prestwood Main and Prestwood A mines had slowed in June, July and August simply due to us being a small team and resources were allocated to Arcadia. Since September a new Mine manager has been appointed and an expanded team deployed to rectifying this deficiency (now we have the financial capacity to expand). The focus has shifted back to mine development and exploration, a total of 12 holes for 2,200 metres of Diamond drilling was completed down dip of the Prestwood A and the Bucks Reef, assay results will be announced in due course. The following activities are in progress:

  • Prestwood Main, shaft sinking to 6 level is now complete, cross cut development to the reef package in the hanging wall ore body is now ongoing.

  • Prestwood A, head gear upgrade from an exploration to a production head gear is now complete. Shaft sinking continues to 3 level with the drives on 2 level being developed east and west on Reef.

  • Sally, there is a 24 hr a day dewatering operation ongoing. A head gear is available and will be erected soon. The old stopes have been surveyed and underground development is being fast tracked. The down dip extensions to the Sally will be tested in the next round of exploration drilling scheduled for December 2016.

  • Bucks Reef, access to the lower levels is being made safe to facilitate underground exploration drilling.

We have the dual focus of developing the gold mines in Gwanda East and drilling up our first JORC reportable resource at Arcadia.
