ASX RELEASE 19 April 2011

SHARE PLACEMENT

The Company is pleased to announce that it has reached agreements to place 17,538,465 shares with professional investors, at an issue price of 1.3 cents per share, to raise $228,000.

Funds will be applied to ongoing exploration.

ONGOING EXPLORATION

Tsumkwe Project – Namibia

With the seasonal rains now coming to an end the Company has sourced a drilling contractor who will be available to commence drilling, initially on a rare earth prospect at its Tsumkwe Project, once the area has completely dried out.

The Company also plans to drill test:

  1. A potential kimberlite target overlain by a recently discovered nearsurface sub-outcropping highly silicified brecciated dyke-like body and

  2. A Copper/Cobalt anomaly, recently delineated with soil geochemical sampling.

Kihabe-Nxuu Project, Botswana

At the Company’s Kihabe-Nxuu Zn/Pb/Ag project in Botswana, assays from closespaced geochemical soil sampling have delineated a copper cobalt anomaly and three zinc/lead anomalies, all with potential to increase the Company’s resource base. Refer to announcements made on 3, 11 and 21 March 2011.

Further infill sampling and assaying is currently being conducted.

The current potential open cut resource base at Kihabe-Nxuu of 25.3 million tonnes @ 3% Zn metal equivalent, containing some 750,000 tonnes of zinc equivalent metal is subject to a Scoping Study for a 10 year mine life at 2.5 million tonnes per annum throughput.
