REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2008
HIGHLIGHTS
MANAGEMENT
Mr Murray Surtees, B.Sc, MDP, F.Aus.IMM, has been engaged to oversee the day to day geological operations and resource development.
KIHABE ZINC/LEAD PROJECT, BOTSWANA
Assay results from 16 diamond drill holes, drilled within the Kihabe Resource, were received during the quarter. The overall average zinc equivalent grade of the main zones of mineralisation encountered in these drill holes amounts to 4.34% zinc equivalent, based on LME spot prices for zinc and lead at 31[st] March 2008.
POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL RESOURCES – DRILLING IN JUNE QUARTER
Potential exists to develop additional open cut resources at Kihabe , to the west, the north and the south of the existing resource and also at depth to the 200m RL.
Potential exists to develop, within a short time frame, an open cut resource with a minimal stripping ratio, at the Nxuu Prospect , seven kilometres east of the Kihabe Resource. Significant zinc/lead mineralisation has been intersected in drilling a near surface, flat lying quartz wacke, covering an area of some 216,000 square metres.

POTENTIAL OPEN CUT RESOURCE – KIHABE ZINC/LEAD PROJECT, BOTSWANA
(Mount Burgess Mining NL. 100%)
During the quarter, final diamond drill core (DD) assay results were received from drilling conducted at the Company’s Kihabe Zinc Project in Botswana. These holes were drilled to test for extensions to the Resource, to test the continuity of the mineralisation between previously drilled sections and to test for a grade increment expected from diamond core drill results, over and above the reverse circulation (RC) drill results which were used in the initial resource estimation.

*** In this summary, the zinc equivalent grade comprises zinc and lead grades only. Silver is shown separately. Zinc equivalent grades were calculated on the closing LME spot prices on 31st March 2008, using US$ 2,302/t for zinc and US$2,788/t for lead. Note: zinc equivalent grades will vary on a daily basis according to the change in daily LME spot prices for both zinc and lead.**

– Initial Company Combined Resource Estimate April 2007
For preliminary planning purposes, the Company estimated, in April 2007, an initial combined Resource from the Independent Resource Summaries as shown in Figure 4. This initial combined Resource estimate, based only on RC drilling, amounted to 11 million tonnes at a zinc equivalent grade of 2.5%, with 95% of the combined resource estimate within the indicated category.
Observation
The overall average zinc equivalent grade for zinc and lead only of the above diamond drill core intersections, amounts to 4.34%. In contrast, the average zinc equivalent grade estimated from RC drilling only, used for the initial Resource Estimate, which includes silver and copper, was 2.5%. A revised Resource calculation will be necessary to determine any overall increment in Resource grade and tonnes. All diamond drilling results received to date are currently being entered into the resource model.
Assaying Process
Lead and silver values are determined by the process of XRF pressed pellet. Zinc values are determined initially by the process of XRF pressed pellet and secondly by ICP for any values in excess of 1% zinc.
Comparison of Twinned Diamond Core / RC Drill Hole Results
Both KDD131 and KDD143 were drilled to twin the previously drilled RC drill holes, KIH005 and KIH007, respectively, for the purpose of determining whether the diamond drill core results produce a higher grade compared to that from RC drilling.
A comparison between KDD143 and KIH007 showed that KDD143 intersected a 98m zone from 28m to 126m, grading 5.51% zinc equivalent. In contrast the previously drilled RC hole, KIH007, intersected a 126m zone from 27m to 133m, grading 4.35% zinc equivalent, resulting in a 26.7% increase in grade in KDD143. Both KDD143 and KIH007 were drilled down dip of the mineralised zone, which has a true width in the order of 40m.
Because of poor correlation between the zones of mineralisation found in drill holes KDD131 and KIH005, an accurate comparison of grade was not possible.
Extensions to the Kihabe Resource (Figure 1)
The final results for KDD150 confirm the discovery of a previously unknown zone of mineralisation . Drilling planned in this forthcoming programme will further test this zone with the potential to extend the known Resource to the west. Drilling is also planned to extend the Resource at depth to 200m RL, as well as testing for extensions to the north, around what may be a much tighter fold closure than previously believed. This zone has generated an IP anomaly similar to that generated within the zone of the main Kihabe Resource. A zinc in soil geochemical anomaly defined to the south of the Kihabe Resource will also be drill tested for additional resources.
The Nxuu Prospect (Figure 2)
A large zinc soil geochemical anomaly, ranging from 300ppm to over 1,000ppm, defined seven kilometres east of the Kihabe Resource and drilled by Billiton in 1982, returned significant intersections of zinc and lead grades, similar to those encountered in drilling at Kihabe in the same year. RC drill hole AP0006 returned an intersection of 27m @ 3.19% zinc equivalent, from 17m to 44m. Mineralisation occurs within a flat lying quartz wacke which overlies a dolomite basin and is estimated to cover an area 800m x 270m or 216,000 square metres. The extent to which this quartz wacke will carry economic grade can only be determined by drilling. Covered by a veneer of Kalahari sands 2m - 5m deep, the mineralised quartz wacke is estimated to have a maximum depth of 50m – 60m in the “low “ of the basin, with an overall average thickness of around 25m. Any resource generated within this prospect would be shallow, amenable to an open cut operation and would likely have a very low waste to ore ratio (see Figure 3). The Company will prioritise diamond core drilling this prospect in this forthcoming programme for the purpose of generating a resource as soon as possible.

THE GOSSAN ANOMALY
Ten kilometres south of the Kihabe Resource, the Company drilled three RC holes into a gossan containing high zinc, lead and silver grades located by rock grab sampling. The peak grab sample grades were 21.95% zinc, 7.63% lead and 6.6 oz/t silver.
Final results using XRF for silver and lead and ICP for zinc have now been received for the three holes drilled into the eastern gossan and are as follows:

As can be seen from these results, the gossan was intersected at 37m, which is believed to be within a possible depleted zone (which can be seen by comparing these grades with the higher grades at surface). Consequently, it is planned to test this gossan in this forthcoming programme at greater depth with diamond core drilling to determine whether the grade increases at depth.
Trenching is currently being conducted in the gossan area to trace its full extent. This has resulted in more gossan being exposed beneath the Kalahari sand cover around 125m to the south west of where the above drilling took place (see photograph below).

==> picture [150 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
A fourth hole was drilled into another area of gossan outcrop some 400m to the west. This hole, believed to be collared too far from the target, failed to intersect the gossan as planned. This gossan will again be tested with a closer positioned drill hole.
ONGOING DRILLING PROGRAMMES
In summary, the Company will be conducting further diamond core drilling as follows:
At the Kihabe Resource (Figure 1)
-
To extend the Resource to the west,
-
To drill test the Resource at depth, to 200m RL,
-
To drill test what may be a tighter fold closure with a coincident IP anomaly to the north; and
-
To drill test a soil geochemical anomaly to the south of the main Kihabe Resource.
At the Nxuu Prospect (Figure 2)
- To delineate a resource
At the Gossan Anomaly
- To test for higher grade mineralisation at depth

Kihabe Zinc / Lead Project Initial Independent Resource Estimates March 2007
Figure 4
The initial zinc, lead and silver Resources, based only on RC drill results were estimated by Ravensgate, independent consultants, in March 2007, applying a range of zinc equivalent low grade cuts, as follows:
KIHABE INDICATED RESOURCE – Reported at various % Zn equivalent* lower cut-offs
==> picture [464 x 116] intentionally omitted <==
KIHABE INFERRED RESOURCE – Reported at various % Zn equivalent* lower cut-offs
==> picture [464 x 116] intentionally omitted <==
- *Note: In the above Resource estimates, “% zinc equivalent” was calculated as follows: 1.67% lead = 1% zinc, 75g/t silver = 1% zinc
The following metal prices, current in March 2007, were used to calculate the zinc equivalent grade: Zinc US$3,250/t, Lead US$1,950/t and Silver US$13:50/oz.
