REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
KIHABE-NXUU ZN/PB/AG PROJECT BOTSWANA (100%)
Further elevated Zn/Pb Anomalies generated from ongoing Soil Geochemical Sampling
During the quarter, the Company conducted further soil geochemical sampling to the south of the Kihabe resource along a NE trending strike, parallel with the Kihabe resource. This trend has a coincident vegetation (Terminalia) anomaly, on the NE extensions of which is situated the Nxuu resource.
A soil geochemical sampling programme was conducted from the previously generated Wanchu Zn/Pb anomaly, in a NE direction for some 3km, to the edge of the Nxuu resource. This programme has generated further anomalous Zn/Pb zones of mineralisation between the Wanchu anomaly and the Nxuu resource, coincident with the NE trend, adding to the potential of this area to generate further Zn/Pb resources, (refer soil geochemical sampling map attached).
Soil geochemical sampling is currently being conducted along the same trend, to the SW of the Wanchu anomaly, where consistent and coincident linear zones of elevated Zn/Pb mineralisation have been delineated by earlier, wider-spaced geochemical surveys.
All soil geochemical samples have been collected from around 10cm below surface, every 50m along N/S lines, 100m apart. The samples are sieved down to - 0.4mm, packeted and then analysed on site under stable and stationary conditions with the Company's XRF machine. Quality control samples are sent to an independent laboratory for analysis by conventional methods.
Interest from Independent Parties
The Company is in discussion with parties that have expressed interest in involvement in the Kihabe - Nxuu project.
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.
