Sabre Resources in Namibia
- RESOURCES LTD SABRE extract extend explore
- Sabre (ASX: SBR) is an ASX-listed copper focused, mineral exploration & development company,
- Sabre's main asset is the Otavi Mountain Land (OML) Copper & Base Metal Project in northern Namibia,
- significant base metal provinces, including high-grade In the mid 20th Century the OML was one of the world's production from:
Tsumeb - 24.9 Mt @ 5.5% Cu, 11.8% Pb & 171 gpt Ag, 8.7 Mt @ 3.1% Cu, 1.1% Pb & 26 gpt Ag. Kombat -
- Sabre controls over 800 km2 of the central OML,
- prospective base metal rich trends, each covering more Sabre's OML project covers four significant & highly than 25 km of strike,
- Sabre is developing a pipeline of projects, ranging from green fields targets through to resource delineation.

Why Copper?

- Demand increasing for copper as the construction cycle matures in Asia,
- Major mining houses continue to show long term confidence in copper e.g. BHP, Rio Tinto, Xstrata,
- telecommunications cabling, electric motors , power cables Copper remains a 'metal in demand' - used in tubing, alloys, and wiring,
- Production falls forecast due to falling head grades in some of the worlds largest mines including Freeport's Grasberg mine (Indonesia) and BHP/Rio's Escondida mine (Chile),
- Increasing demand reflected in falls in both LME & Shanghai Futures Exchange stockpiles over the past 12 months,
- Most new sources of supply are several years away from Alddns potential, medium term, Ø creating production, DEFICIT.




Operating in Namibia
- RESOURCES LTD SABRE extract extend explore
- Namibia has a stable and democratic government,
- Proven significant supplier of uranium, diamonds and copper with highly prospective geology,
- Long established mining law and culture,
- Mining/exploration 'friendly' environment, with a royalty rate of 3%, and mining providing more than 13% of GDP,
- Namibia boasts an excellent infrastructure network including high voltage power, telecommunications, reticulated water, paved roads, rail to port and mining infrastructure,
- Established base metal mining industry, including significant copper mines and processing facilities at Otjihase & Matchless near Windhoek, as well as Tsumeb & Kombat in the Otavi Mountain Land,
- the project area and is one of only five operating copper smelters in The Tsumeb Mine & Smelter Complex lies only 45 km to the north of Africa.


Mining Infrastructure in the OMI
extend explore
A key advantage of the OML is its long history of mining, with the associated culture and processing infrastructure. This includes:
progress to double capacity but currently processes 120,000 tonnes of -Tsumeb Copper Smelter (Dundee PM) - US$145 million upgrade in concentrates per annum, ·Tsumeb Concentrator (Weatherly Int) - on 'care & maintenance', largely intact 560,000 tonnes per annum circuit. Closed in 2008 due to low copper prices, ·Kombat Concentrator (Kombat Copper) - detailed engineering review underway with a view to restarting the project. It is a 400,000 tonne per annum circuit, closed in 2008 due to low copper prices, -Rail - network of rail through region, from the port at Walvis Bay to Tsumeb & Grootfontein (with a dedicated siding at Guchab),
·Roads - paved and 'made' gravel roads throughout region,
.High Voltage Power - power throughout the OML region, sourced internally and from neighbouring countries including Zambia





- the The Pan African Mobile Belts host some of the worlds most economically significant, and high-grade, copper deposits including Zambian, Kalahari and Namib Copper Belts,
- The OML lies on the eastern end of the Namib Copper Belt, on the northern margin of the Damaran Mobile Belt, in southern Africa.

Guchab Copper Mining Centre
- extend explore
- SABRE RESOURCES LTD extract
- The Guchab mining centre was discovered and operated in the early 1900s,
- The mining area was worked as a series of shallow open pits, box cuts and adits, with the most extensive underground workings in the 'High Valley',
- Ores averaged more than 10% copper and were later hand sorted to produce ore grading up to 33% copper,
- Mining in the area ceased in 1925, with only sporadic exploration in the 1950s and again in the 1970s,
- Recent exploration shows the mine environs to extend over more than 4,000 metres of strike, with surface geochemistry in excess of 1% copper and outcrop sampling at over 10% copper,
- Channel sampling revealed high-grade copper mineralisation over significant widths (incl GCTR 002 - 16 m $@$ 10.16% Cu & 64 gpt Ag).

Guchab - Diamond Drilling
- RESOURCES LTD SABRE extract extend explore
- Sabre initiated a programme of reconnaissance drilling at Guchab in July 2012 to test several zones of outcropping mineralisation,
- A diamond rig is being used for this exploration as it is the most portable unit available given the rugged terrain, g)
- Better results for the drilling programme include: g)
PAD1
107.75 m @ 1.15% Cu & 6.93 gpt Ag 22.20 m @ 3.45% Cu & 29.67 gpt Ag GCDD0005 GCDD0001
PAD2
14.10 m @ 1.31% Cu & 10.50 gpt Ag GCDD0006

Two holes, with visible mineralisation, have now been completed with assays pending.
JORC resource drilling scheduled to commence in Q1 2013. $\bullet$

- The Lucas Post Trend covers more than 25 km of strike and hosts a number of copper and vanadium prospects - extensive infill soil sampling programme underway,
- The Kaskara prospect shows the geochemical and structural similarities to the Tsumeb Cu-Pb-Ag mine complex to the north,
- A number of copper and vanadium prospects require drill testing including, Rooikat, Harasib II and Uitsab.

- RC drilling commenced at Kaskara in late October 2012,
- Five holes completed to date, with drilling proving technically challenging due fractured ground conditions and friable Fe-Pb-V oxide mineralisation,
- Drilling commenced on the lower slopes of the hill at Kaskara,
- delineate the periphery of the mineralised system then The RC programme is designed to initially test & to follow it to depth,
- Later drill holes will test the Sulphide Copper IP target at depth,
- RC is proving to be an effective drilling method to test the mineralisation at Kaskara.
