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.

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.

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. | ||

- 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.
