ASX RELEASE
25 June 2007
Kihabe Zinc Project, Botswana Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%
FURTHER DIAMOND CORE ASSAYS SHOW HIGHER GRADES COMPARED TO RC DRILL RESULTS
Assay results using AX-OES have been received for core samples from diamond drill holes KDD106 and KDD108 (KDD107 was abandoned prior to reaching mineralisation). Where comparable, it appears that the same zones of mineralisation intersected in both RC and diamond core drilling are vielding higher grade results from diamond core as opposed to RC drill results used for the initial resource calculation and previously released to the market.
KDD108 was drilled on section 10,000mE in between RC drill holes KIH001 and KIH004, previously drilled 25m apart, intersecting a 12m wide mineralised zone from 60m vertical depth (RL) and a second 14m mineralised zone from 102m RL.
The RC and diamond core results for the same mineralised zones are outlined below.
| Section 10,000mE | Reported Results from previous RC Drilling Results from Diamond Drilling | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KIH001 | KIH004 | KDD108 | ||
| Zone 1 - From 60mRL | [email protected]\% Zn \perp [email protected]\% Zn$ | l 12m @ 4.36% Zn | ||
| l Zone 2 – From 102mRL | Zone not drilled | 14m @ 1.75% Zn | 14m @ 4.18% Zn |
The above increases in diamond core grades are similar to the increase in grade from KDD105, drilled on section 9,900E and announced to the market on the 8th of May 2007, as follows:
| Section 9,900mE | Reported Results from previous RC Drilling Results from Diamond Drilling | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KRC015 | KRC034 | KDD105 | ||
| Zone from 127mRL | 28m @ 1.62% Zn | 28m @ 1.61% Zn | [email protected]\% Zn$ |
Results from further diamond drill core assays will be reviewed and compared with RC sample results where possible to determine whether, overall, diamond drilling results will enhance the Kihabe resource grade. However, the Company continues to be encouraged by these results. The Company has now completed cutting all core recovered from the last round of diamond drilling. These core samples are now being prepared for assaying. Once sufficient results have been received from assaying, core can then be selected for metallurgical test work to determine metal recoveries.
Results from KDD106 and KDD108 are detailed below:
Collared at 9,900E/9,991N, Dip - 60 deg, Azimuth 339 deg. KDD106 Drilled to test for mineralisation past 50m RL. The hanging wall dolomite/quartzite contact was logged at 47m.
The grades and section widths reasonably correlate with those obtained from KRC036 drilled roughly 5m to the west.

The Company has recently engaged the services of a consulting structural geologist familiar with the local Proterozoic geology at Kihabe, to conduct a structural review of the diamond core in order to best determine where future in-fill drilling should be conducted. It is believed that by better understanding the higher grade zones that exist within the resource and confirming these with additional in-fill drilling, there is a possibility of further enhancing the grade of the Kihabe resource. The Kihabe resource currently stands at 11 million tonnes @ 2.55% zinc equivalent to a vertical depth of 150m. Potential exists to extend this resource both along strike and at depth.
