ASX RELEASE

11 July 2008

KIHABE ZINC/LEAD PROJECT, BOTSWANA – UPDATE

THE NXUU DEPOSIT

The Company is currently diamond core drilling at the Nxuu deposit for the purpose of delineating further resources, seven kilometers east of its Kihabe resource, in north western Botswana.

Zinc/lead mineralisation at the Nxuu deposit occurs in a shallow flat lying quartz wacke which lies in a dolomite basin and is covered by 5 to 15m of Kalahari sands. The quartz wacke has an average width of around 30m.

To date seven diamond drill holes in this current drilling programme have intersected this quartz wacke, which together with eight RC holes previously drilled by Billiton, confirm that this quartz wacke extends over an area of some 260,000 square metres.

Drill core is currently being cut and will shortly be submitted for assaying.

Any resource developed at the Nxuu deposit will be shallow and will likely have a very low waste to ore ratio.

THE KIHABE ZINC, LEAD AND SILVER RESOURCE

Results from 41 diamond core drill holes amounting to 5,380 metres are currently being incorporated into the Kihabe resource model for the purpose of upgrading the resource estimate.

It is anticipated that the diamond core results will increase both the grade and tonnes of the Kihabe resource. An initial resource, was estimated at 11 million tonnes at 2.55% zinc equivalent. In excess of 95% of this resource fell within the indicated category. This initial resource was estimated from RC drill results only, which the Company believes under reported the grade. A revised resource estimate will be released to the market once complete.
