DRILLING CONFIRMS SIGNIFICANT EXTENSION TO RESOURCE POTENTIAL Kihabe Zinc Project, Botswana (Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%)

HIGHLIGHT

A 71 metre intersection of zinc and lead sulphides in RC Drill Hole KRC174 has extended the known strike of mineralisation 500m along strike to the east of the current resource boundary. Oxide mineralization has also been intersected in the nose of the Kihabe syncline, 1,150m further along strike from the resource boundary,

REPORT

The Kihabe Extension exploration programme is being conducted to test interpreted stratigraphic continuity of the prospective mineralised quartzite-dolomite contact which hosts the Kihabe Zinc-Lead Resource, currently at 11 million tonnes at a grade of 2.55% zinc equivalency, based on RC drill results. Subsequent diamond core drilling results show that there is potential to increase this grade.

Mineralisation at Kihabe occurs in a quartzite proximal to a dolomite contact. The current Kihabe resource is contained within a 2.4km strike length along this contact, from local coordinates of 9,700E to 12,000E. The Company's interpretation is that Kihabe occupies the southern limb of a synclinal fold and as such has potential to continue along strike for a total of 8.5km (Figure 1).

A line of reverse circulation (RC) drill holes (KRC172 to KRC174) has been completed on the southern limb of the fold at Kihabe (See Figure 2, attached) at 12,500E, approximately 500m east from the resource limits.

KRC172 intersected dolomite and KRC173 intersected quartzite from 10m and oxidised mineralization from 21-32m proximal to the dolomite contact. KRC174 intersected strong sphalerite and galena mineralization continuously from 18m to 84m including several one metre intervals of massive sulphide at 50-51m, 76- 77m, and 83-84m, all above the dolomite contact. The pre-collar for KDD175, drilled 50m grid north from KRC174 intersected strong mineralisation from 42m to 50m (Figure 2).

A line of drilling at 13,350E was completed with oxidised and weakly to moderately mineralised quartzite intersected in several holes. Although oxidised, the presence of mineralisation at section 13,350E considerably supports the Company's interpretation that the entire 8.5 kilometres of prospective contact is potentially mineralised (Figure 3).

Drilling on section 11,900E, on the northern limb, has progressed with a further two holes (KRC158 and KRC170) drilled to test the geometry of the massive sulphide zones. A diamond core tail is to be drilled from KRC158 as a priority, to resolve the geology.

The drilling rig at Kihabe has resumed diamond coring, with KDD142 completed and the rig will complete the balance of infill diamond drilling on the Kihabe Resource.

Samples for all of the above drilling have been logged and dispatched for assay. Results will be reported as they become available.

All drill hole co-ordinates are reported in Table 1, below.
