ASX RELEASE 15 May 2012
SHARE PLACEMENT
The Company has reached agreements to place 30,000,000 shares with professional investors at an issue price of 0.3 of a cent to raise $90,000.
FURTHER FUNDING
The Company has also been provided with an additional $16,000 loan funding from Exchange Services Pty Ltd a Company controlled by Mr A P Stirling, a Director of the Company.
Funds raised from these issues will be applied to ongoing exploration and resource development.
CURRENT ONGOING EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Kihabe-Nxuu Project, Botswana
At the Company’s Kihabe-Nxuu Zn/Pb/Ag project in Botswana, assays from close-spaced geochemical soil sampling have generated six significant Zn/Pb soil geochemical anomalies and one significant Cu/Co soil geochemical anomaly which have the potential to increase the Company’s resource base.
The Company is continuing with soil geochemical sampling and is currently generating further Zn/Pb anomalies between the previously identified Wanchu Zn/Pb anomaly and the Nxuu resource 4km along strike and to the NE (refer attached image).
The information in this release that relates to exploration results, together with any related assessments and interpretations, is based on information approved for release by Mr. Giles Rodney Dale of GR Dale and Associates. Mr. Dale is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Dale has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation under consideration and to the activity which he has undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr. Dale consents to the inclusion in this release of matters based on this information in the form and context to which it appears.

The information in the resource statement that relates to the Kihabe Resource is compiled by Byron Dumpleton, B.Sc., a member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists. The information that relates to the Nxuu Resource is compiled by Mr Ben Mosigi, M.Sc., (Leicester University – UK), B.Sc., (University of New Brunswick – Canada), Diploma Mining Tech (Haileybury School of Mines – Canada), a member of the Geological Society of South Africa.
Mr Dumpleton is an independent qualified person and Mr Mosigi is a Technical Director of the Company. Both Mr Dumpleton and Mr Mosigi have sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation under consideration and to the activity to which they have undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code of Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Both Mr Dumpleton and Mr Mosigi consent to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
KIHABE-NXUU METAL RECOVERIES
Independent metallurgical testwork has confirmed the metal recoveries shown in the table below. Accordingly the Company believes these recoveries are achievable. Zinc recovered from acid leaching oxide zones will enable Zn metal to be recovered on site from electro-winning.
| DEPOSIT | Zone | Time | Zinc | Lead | Silver |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kihabe | |||||
| Oxide Zone | |||||
| Acid leaching @40oC 30 kg/t acid |
Oxide * | 24 hrs | 96.9% | 91.9% | n/a |
| Sulphide Zone | |||||
| Rougher flot | Sulphide | 90 seconds | 91.9% | 84.8% | 94% |
| Sulphide | 15.5 mins | 93.8% | 88.1% | 96.4% | |
| Nxuu | |||||
| All Oxide | |||||
| Acid leaching @25OC 30 kg/t acid |
Oxide * | 12 hrs | 93% | 93% | n/a |
* Note: Zn mineralisation in the oxidised zones is hosted within Smithosonite and Baileychlore and independent test work has confirmed both of these are amenable to acid leaching.
