Sabre Looks To Recommence Exploration For Zinc Lead and Silver At Border And Toggenburg Now that the Tenement Has Been Renewed

The Company is pleased to announce that it has received confirmation from the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy of the renewal of exploration licence EPL 3542. The licence has been renewed for two years from 30 October 2016 to 29 October 2018. The application for the renewal was lodged in the September quarter of 2015 ahead of the due date and renewal has only just been received.

The lack of security of tenure has been of great concern to the Company, its management, auditors and shareholders, and it has impacted on the ability of the Company to progress its exploration and access the capital Markets. The Company is pleased that, now it has security of tenure, it can proceed with its proposed exploration and drilling programs.

EPL 3542 is located in the Otavi Mountainland ("OML") of Namibia, and covers approximately 237 square kilometres. Sabre has defined two major trends with stratabound zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation within the tenement. This is a key tenement in Sabre's Namibian holdings and contains the following resources and projects:

  • The Border Zn-Pb deposit (16Mt @1.53%Zn, 0.59% Pb and 4.76 Ag); $\bullet$
  • The Driehoek Zn-Pb deposit;
  • The Toggenburg and Southridge Zn-Pb prospect;
  • The Kaskara Cu-V and Ag prospect:
  • The Auros Zn-Pb-Ag prospect;

together with a number of other prospects.

The Company continues to await the renewal of EPL 3540 which contains the Kombat copper trend and its Guchab project. Sabre is not aware of any issues that would preclude the renewal of this licence in a similar way to the renewal of EPL 3542. The Company is hopeful that the Namibian Ministry of mines will renew this tenement in the near future. Once this licence is renewed Sabre will recommence its copper exploration.

BORDER ZINC-LEAD-SILVER DEPOSIT

The Border Zn-Pb-Ag Deposit is one of a series of zinc-lead deposits located on Sabre's 30 kilometres Iong Border-Toggenburg Trend in northern Namibia (Figure 1).

Figure 2: Border is a stratabound, epigenetic Zn-Pb-Ag deposit, extending along 1.7km along strike to a depth of $390m$ .

The Border Resource is a key component of the Company's strategy of identifying and developing high-tonnage, moderate-grade Zn-Pb-Ag open cut mines, feeding a centrally located processing plant on the Border-Toggenburg trend.

Sabre has reported a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource at the Border Deposit of:

16.0 Mt @ 1.53% Zn, 0.59% Pb and 4.76 g/t Ag,

when reported at a 1.25% Zn+Pb cut-off grade. The mineral resource estimate increases to 31.2 Mt @ 1.10% Zn and 0.40% Pb and 3.37 g/t Ag when reported at 0.5% Zn+Pb cut-off grade.

Table 1 - Border 2014 Mineral Resource Estimate

Border is considered to be an epigenetic zinc-lead-silver deposit that consists of sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and galena (lead sulphide) mineralisation within dolomitic host rocks. No pyrite or any other sulphides are present in significant amounts, and weathering is minor and shallow so as to be immaterial. The deposit dips at 60° to the north-northwest, stretches along strike for 2,430m, extends for up to 390m beneath surface (with the bulk of the tonnage and grade within 150m of surface), and varies between 10m and 85m thick (25m average thickness). A plan of the holle collars and grademetre distributions of the mineralisation is shown in Figure 3.

BORDER - METALLURGICAL TESTWORK

Sabre has completed detailed metallurgical test work on the Border Deposit to test the response of the mineralisation to dense media separation (DMS). DMS is a cheap and efficient process that becomes more efficient with higher density contrasts, providing greatly reduced mineral processing costs. The results are summarised in Table 2.

Overall enrichment (from original): $~1$ -82 times $~1$ -37 times
Overall recovery (from original): 87.8% 81.7%

The beneficiation tests on the bulk sample show exceptional upgrading of the mineralisation, in the DMS step with 92.5% of the lead and 86% of the zinc recovered to only 17% of the feed mass with a resulting product grade of 12.5% zinc and 6.3% lead. This greatly reduces the amount of material requiring grinding prior to flotation. Grind and float test work demonstrated excellent liberation at a relatively coarse grind size of 150 microns. Final flotation concentrate grades were around 65 % lead and 62 % zinc (from mineralisation grading 0.77% Pb and 1.66% Zn), with final recoveries of around 87% for lead and 82% for zinc.

The optimised test results are as follows:

  • At a coarse 12.5 mm (half inch) crush size approximately 87% of the waste mass can be reiected by DMS
  • At a relatively coarse optimum grind size of 150 microns, good separation is achieved to produce lead and zinc cleaner concentrates
  • After flotation, a lead cleaner concentrate grade of 65% Pb was achieved, recovering 94.5% of the lead in the flotation feed
  • After flotation, a zinc cleaner concentrate grade of 61.5% Zn was achieved, recovering 95% of the zinc in the flotation feed

A major factor in the success of the DMS technique at Border is the lack of waste sulphides, such as the iron sulphides pyrite and pyrrhotite. Such minerals would typically concentrate with the galena and sphalerite and would thereby result in a lower concentrate grade, possibly requiring further processing such as flotation to separate waste sulphides from ore sulphides. However, the near absence of these waste sulphides at Border means that the simple DMS process is highly efficient, resulting in very low processing costs to produce a marketable concentrate. This indicates that lower grades of zinc and lead mineralisation can be processed profitably.

In summary, after dense media separation and flotation, 81.7% of the total zinc and 87.8% of the total lead and 89% of the total silver can be expected to be recovered. Most importantly for the economics of the project, after crushing and DMS, only 17% of the original feed would require milling and flotation

This mill feed is made up of naturally upgraded <1mm fines (10%) and DMS concentrate (7%). Excellent liberation of zinc and lead sulphides in this mill feed occurs at a relatively coarse grind size of 150 microns providing a potential further cost benefit.

The Border Deposit, together with high priority exploration targets at Toggenburg, East Border and South Ridge on the Border-Toggenburg Trend, and Auros and Driehoek potentially constitute a camp of zinc-lead deposits which could be easily mined and treated through a centrally located processing plant.

TOGGENBURG

The Toggenburg prospect is located along strike about 2km west of Sabre's Border lead-zinc-silver deposit and is interpreted to be controlled by the same structures as Border. The Toggenburg prospect measures over 2.8 km long and up to 250m wide, with maximum combined zinc and lead values in excess of 2.9%. The anomalies defined at Toggenburg, which are open to the east and west, have an area more than four times the size of the equivalent anomaly at Border. where a 0.1% Zn+Pb cutoff in the near-surface approximates the footprint of zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation at depth.

Four drill sites at Toggenburg were identified for a series of 100 m deep reverse circulation drill holes which are designed to test the down-dip extent of zinc and lead mineralisation. It is expected that, like the Border Deposit 2 km to the west, mineralisation will dip moderately to steeply to the northnorthwest, parallel to the host dolomite sequence.

The drill sites and access to them have been prepared, but it was decided not to proceed with drilling until the licence was renewed. Now that the licence has been renewed the Company can again address this issue.

The potential for Toggenburg, based on the size of its footprint compared to that of Border. is for it to be more than four times the size of the Border deposit.

Figure 5: Top of bedrock maximum zinc plus lead values over the Toggenburg project area. Orange lines outline the 0.10 % (1000 ppm) Zn+Pb contour, which at the Border deposit defines the distribution of zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation at depth. Latest drilling is highlighted by white bands and shows continuity of mineralisation in the subsurface. Note that the mineralisation is open to the east and west

AUROS

To the west of Border at Auros, the Auros zinc-lead anomaly has been identified by the collection and assaying of over 5,000 surface soil samples. This large surface sampling program resulted in the identification of the Auros zinc-lead anomaly which measures over 2.5 km by 5.0 km. It covers an area of over 300 hectares.

• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation •that are Material to the Public Report. Sample lengths for diamond drilling range from 0.2 to 1.2 m and average approximately 1.0m. RC samples sample were 2m in length.The identification of mineralised intervals (by inspection) and the sampling and measurementof grade were approached consistently in the available logs and reports.
In cases where 'industry standard' work hasbeen done this would be relatively simple (eg'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised toproduce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In othercases more explanation may be required, suchas where there is coarse gold that has inherentsampling problems. Unusual commodities ormineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) maywarrant disclosure of detailed information Mineralisation is identified throughout Border is zinc as sphalerite and lead as galena hostedin dolomite. Representative samples from RC and diamond drilling were collected and sent toaccredited laboratories for analysis. Intertek Laboratories in Johannesburg crushed andpulverised the samples, and took a 50g pulp for analysis. This pulp was sent to Intertek inPerth, Western Australia for analysis. Analysis was performed using 4 acid digest and anICP-EOS multi element analysis technique.Silver and minor copper occurs in the mineralisation. These are the only other commoditiesidentified of significance.
Drillingtechniques • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-holehammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple orstandard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core isoriented and if so, by what method, etc). The resource dataset is comprised of diamond drilling samples (1906) and RC drillingsamples (1035).Diamond drilling included NQ2 diameter core.

Diamond core recoveries averaged 95%.RC samples recoveries were not recorded.$\bullet$• No relationship exists between sample recovery and grade. Since mostly diamond core wasused. RC samples (73) report a lower average grade than core samples overall which isrelated their being drilled as RC precollars intersecting lower grades portions outside of mainbody of the mineralisation, and diamond drilling focusing on higher grade portions of theorebody.

Detailed drill hole logs (all drilling), geotechnical and structural logs (core only) are availablefor the drilling.Separate sample logging sheets were kept including samples numbers for duplicates,standards and blanks taken for QA/QC purposes.The logging is of a detailed nature, and of sufficient detail to support the current Inferred$\bullet$resource estimates.A total of 40 diamond holes for 7596.56 m and 18 RC drillholes for 2122m have logs availableboth digitally and in paper original logs.

  • Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
  • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
  • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

standard practices for managing RC samples and diamond core.

  • Quality control procedures included the inclusion of field duplicates, standard samples and blank samples into the sampling stream for laboratory analysis. 431 quality samples were taken and analysed during the program.
  • Host rock is mainly a massive or fine grained silicified dolomite. Samples of diamond core and RC samples produce appropriate size samples to be representative.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptablelevels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have beenestablished. One standard, blank and field duplicate were inserted into the samplestream every 20 samples. These were offset through the sampling stream.Overall, standards used reported values within 2 standard deviations of theexpected values except in a few cases. These cases can be followed up tosample mix-ups in the field and were largely able to be identified and

Collar elevations are consistent with the surface topography. A detailed topography survey was not available for the resource estimate and the surface is only considered suitable to support a classification of Inferred. • Hole collars from historical programs by Sabre and Etosha need to be picked up using DGPS survey techniques to increase the confidence in

their position and elevation. The level of uncertainty (within the error rangeof the handheld GPS unit) is considered when classifying the resources.• A majority of the drillholes were downhole surveyed (95%) with anelectronic multishot (Reflex) tool. The remaining holes were measured witha clinometer and compass. No magnetic interference was observed.
Specification of the grid system used. Original surveying was undertaken in WGS84 Zone 33 South.$\bullet$
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. • Topographic control is adequate for the current estimates
Data spacinganddistribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.$\bullet$ • The majority of the resource area has been drilled on a grid of 200m in anortheast direction and 50 to 100m on a southeast direction.

The drill data spacing and sampling is able to establish the geological andgrade continuity sufficiently for the current Mineral Resource Estimates.Closer spaced drilling is recommended to improve the confidence in theestimate.
Whether sample compositing has been applied Diamond drill hole samples were composited to a nominal 1.0 m down-holeintervals for resource modelling. RC Samples used in the estimate werecomposited to 2m intervals.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Databaseintegrity Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for .$\bullet$example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collectionand its use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes.Data validation procedures used.$\bullet$ The drill hole database was sourced from original hard-copy samplingand assay records.Validation measures included spot checking between database andhard copy drill logs and sections and plans in historic reports.The database is currently compiled into an Industry Standard SQLServer database using a normalised assay data model produced byDatashed Software.
Site visits • Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person andthe outcome of those visits.• If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case. Mr. Marshall has visited Border numerous times between 2010 and2014 and is taking responsibility for all aspects of the estimates. MrMarshall was directly involved in the final drilling program and datacompilation at Border in 2010.
Geologicalinterpretation Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geologicalinterpretation of the mineral deposit.Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made.$\bullet$ The Border Deposit was discovered in the 1960's and prior to Sabre'sownership, drilling and geological interpretation were conducted onthe deposit. This information has been compiled and considered in

  • The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology.

the exploration of Border by Sabre Resources.

  • Historical data as well as recent mapping by Sabre Geologists were used in the design and implementation of the drilling program, and geological interpretation of the mineralisation.
  • The geology and grade information was utilised in the creation of the $\bullet$ mineralised domain wireframes. A nominal 0.5% Zn+Pb cutoff was used to define the outline within geological units. The selection of this cutoff is natural and corresponds with the mineralisation boundaries.
  • Wireframe boundaries were "snapped" to drilling intercepts using the sample positions, with the use of geological logging being used as a guide when considering the interpretation of the mineralised wireframe. Interpretations were prepared on 100m section spacing's cut at bearing 165 degrees azimuth in WGS84.
  • The drill spacing is relatively wide and introduces sufficient uncertainty for the estimates to be classified as Inferred.
  • Given the current wide drill spacing, alternative interpretation variations are possible for the mineralisation. However, these are limited by field mapping and historical drilling intercepts which confirm the NE strike of the mineralised zone and NW dip. Resource estimation with assumed dominant mineralisation controls are restricted to this orientation
  • The boundaries of the broader mineralised zone are consistent, but within these zones, higher-grade zones occur. It is expected that
additional drilling will define the orientation and nature of thesehigher-grade zones. The block model has attempted to allow for thisinterpretation of the drill data.
Dimensions • The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as •length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth belowsurface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource. The Mineral Resources extend over a strike length of approximately2400 m. The estimates extend to 385 m depth below surface.The resource is unmined
Estimationandmodellingtechniques • The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s)applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme gradevalues, domaining, interpolation parameters and maximum distanceof extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted estimationmethod was chosen include a description of computer software andparameters used. Resources were estimated by Inverse Distance Squared estimationof 1.0 m down-hole composited lead and zinc assay grades fromdiamond holes within a mineralised domain wireframe.Continuity of lead and zinc grades was characterised by depositgeometry. The wide drill spacing meant meaningful short rangevariograms along strike could not be generated. The estimates areextrapolated an average distance of 100m from drilling and upmaximum of approximately 200 m from drilling, particularly in thedeepest eastern extremity of the wireframe model.Micromine software was used for data compilation, domain wire-framing, and coding of composite values, statistics, geostatistics andresource estimation
• The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mineproduction records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takesappropriate account of such data. A check model using Inverse Distance Cubed was used to check the$\bullet$primary Inverse Distance Squared estimate and gave comparableestimates within 5% of each other in tons and grade.Previous resources were calculated for Border by Etosha Minerals
and later TCL (Goldfields) as follows;
9.21 Mt @ 4.31 % Pb +Zn (Brand 1971)$\circ$
10.92 Mt @ 3.5 % Pb +Zn (Klugman April 1970)$\circ$
7.26 Mt @ 3.0- 4.0 % Pb +Zn (Scharrer, June 1970)O
Estimates of the total size of the resource varied from 27 -30 Mt tothe 2000 ft level. (600m)
In 1981, TCL estimated a shallow resource to 100m depth followingits 22 hole percussion program and historical diamond drilling byEtosha as being 3.62Mt @ 1.69 % Zn and 0.60 % Pb.
No cutoffs are stated for the historical resources.

  • The previous outcomes indicated a marginal operation at the prevailing 2011 metal prices and operating assumptions.
  • Dependant on the cost parameters used, the deposit is amenable to a low grade open cut near surface mining.

Metallurgical The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical factors or amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of assumptions determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made.

  • Metallurgical test work was conducted by Etosha Minerals and Sabre Resources at Border. Both studies indicated good recoveries using simple flotation methods. Both studies identified the simple mineralisation and gangue chemistry as conducive to efficient extraction.
  • Metallurgical test work was carried on two drillhole samples by Sabre
  • The mineralisation is galena and sphalerite, with dolomite-ankerite constituting the gangue phase.
  • The mineralisation responded well to upgrading by Dense Media Separation (DMS), at a crush size of 12.5mm, close to 90% of the original mass could be rejected while recovering 90% of the lead and 80% of the zinc.
  • A relatively coarse grind size of 80% passing 150 microns was adequate for flotation.
  • The mineralisation is naturally amenable to differential flotation into $\bullet$ separate lead and zinc concentrates.

Environmen-tal factors orassumptions Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue .disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process ofdetermining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extractionto consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining andprocessing operation. While at this stage the determination ofpotential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project,may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration ofthese potential environmental impacts should be reported. Wherethese aspects have not been considered this should be reported withan explanation of the environmental assumptions made. Precise details of potential waste and process residue disposaloptions are unclear reflecting the early stage of project evaluation.High carbonate content of both the mineralisation and the waste rocktogether with very low gangue sulphides content (eg pyrite) suggestthat ARD would not be a problem.
